An international event entitled “Tsinghua Day at Kanazawa” was held in a hybrid style between Kanazawa University and Tsinghua University (China). This event was originally planned for 2020 as to be a return of the "Kanazawa Day" held at Tsinghua University in 2019 but forced to be postponed due to the pandemic.

In the opening remarks, President Yamazaki expressed his gratitude for the "Kanazawa Day" in 2019, and suggested the annual exchange in the future, as the online environment has made it possible to conduct diverse exchanges.
On the other hand, Professor YANG Bin, Vice President & Provost of Tsinghua University emphasized that 2021 is the 110th anniversary of the founding of Tsinghua University and the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Shenzhen International Graduate School, and that the "Tsinghua University Day" was a great conclusion of this memorable year.
He also expressed his hope for further cooperation between the two universities in the field of environmental and urban planning research, which is the original field of exchange between the two universities and is closely related to the challenges we are facing, including the pandemic.
