MIRAI Swedish-Japanese Strategic University Collaboration

MIRAI is a collaboration between 17 Swedish and Japanese universities, aiming to contribute to long-term research collaboration and to promote Sweden and Japan as nations of world-leading large-scale research infrastructure. Mirai means future in Japanese. The third phase of MIRAI (2024-2026) embarks on a bold mission to focus on global challenges, to be tackled collaboratively. By this, MIRAI aspires to contribute not only to the Sweden-Japan collaborations but also to global issues that should be discussed and handled across nations on the international scale. The following advanced goals have been set for the third phase of MIRAI: • Contribute to solving global challenges by setting up groups where researchers from MIRAI universities work together across and beyond institutions, countries, disciplines and sectors. • Create an environment to promote long-term research collaborations. • Facilitate PhD student and researcher mobility. • Promote innovation and entrepreneurship in education and research and facilitate joint efforts between academia, industry and external partners.
