Visit by New Dean of Trisakti University Faculty of Dentistry and MOU Renewal

On June 19, 2024, Dr. Wiwiek Poedjiastoeti, new dean of the Faculty of Dentistry at Trisakti University (Jakarta, Indonesia), visited Showa University to renew the exchange agreement between our dental schools. Trisakti University Faculty of Dentistry and Showa University School of Dentistry first established this exchange agreement in 2017, and it has led to both student and faculty exchange.
 
During the signing ceremony, Dean Pedjiastoeti and Dr. Kazuyoshi Baba, Dean of Showa University School of Dentistry, first discussed areas for exchange and collaboration between our dental schools, and then both deans signed their copies of the exchange agreement. Next, Dr. Yo Shibata (Chair, School of Dentistry International Exchange Center) gave a tour of the clinical departments and facilities at Showa University Dental Hospital. Finally, Dean Pedjiastoeti visited Showa University International Exchange Center, where she received additional information about the exchange programs at Showa University and had dinner with delegation members.
 
With the renewal of this exchange agreement in place, we look forward to further expansion of international exchange activities between our dental schools.
