3rd EXCET Workshop, March 27-28, 2025 in Osaka, Japan

The University of Tennessee leads the collaboration between Japan and the USA in an academic, interdisciplinary platform called EXCET (U.S-Japan Exchange Program for Green Growth Collaboration through Clean Energy Technologies). The purpose of EXCET is to encourage communication and collaboration with researchers on issues of renewable energy, green energy, and environmental and energy justice. Supported by the US Department of State and the US Embassy in Tokyo, EXCET is a high-level collaboration with the University of Tennessee (UT), Waseda University, and Osaka University.

Workshop Venue

Taking geographical advantage of Nakanoshima area, which is the center of political and economic activity in Osaka, Osaka University Nakanoshima Center was reborn as a hub for disseminating information where business, citizens, and Osaka University are connected.

To promote the “Agora Vision” to make the Nakanoshima area an intersection of culture, art, science, and technology and a place for creating social value, Osaka University will improve its Nakanoshima Center as a hub for society-university co-creation, industry-university co-creation, and art, where four domains of knowledge (culture, art, science, and technology) intersect and share information with the world.
