The University of Oulu has become the first Finnish university to establish a research unit in Japan. The focus of the new unit will be on, amongst other things, wireless communication in healthcare, and telecommunications network technologies in catastrophe prevention.
The unit, officially known as CWC-Nippon, is in Yokohama, a location close to many of Japanese institutions with connections to the University.
Work at the unit will begin in March in a new skyscraper in downtown Yokohama. According to Principal Lauri Lajunen, the new facilities will play a critical role in achieving the University´s strategic goals as well as fostering high-quality research.
