Irkutsk State University joined the Russian-Japanese educational project “Re-Inventing Japan.”

The Japanese delegation from Hokkaido University – Tsuneko Mochizuki, Vice President for International Relations, and Yuki Komata, Officer of the Research Department – visited our University.

Moreover, the project allows faculty members exchange in Biology, Hydrobiology, Botany, History and Archeology,” Tatiana Lishtovannaya said.
