Additionally, Politechnika Łódzka, a prominent university renowned for its focus on science and technology in Poland, has expressed a strong desire to foster enduring academic partnerships with TMU.

As the trip continued to the Czech Republic, TMU interacted with representatives of Charles University, Masaryk University, and Brno University of Technology. The former already has intensive collaboration in dementia with the Department of Medicine and the other two institutions enthusiastically extended collaboration proposals, particularly expressing interest in partnering with TMU’s School of Biomedical Engineering. These collaboration invitations underscore TMU’s steadfast commitment to nurturing top-tier talents. The trip concluded with valuable insights, further reinforcing TMU’s dedication to advancing academic excellence and forging partnerships in Central Europe.
