On May 12, Nagoya Institute of Technology (NITech) held "Poland Day" with Poznan University of Technology (PUT, Poland), one of our academic exchange partners.

A group of 14 faculty and staff members from PUT, including Professor Teofil Jesionowski, Ph.D., D.Sc., Rector, and Professor Mariusz Glabowski, Vice-Rector for International Relations, gave presentations on PUT and the PUT's academic exchange initiatives through EUNICE, shared their research, and introduced programs for students interested in studying in Poland.
As part of the cultural program, the folk dance ensemble "POLIGRODZIANIE" delivered a vibrant and colorful performance showcasing traditional Polish culture. In addition, participants had the opportunity to join in the dancing themselves, creating a lively and engaging atmosphere that brought everyone together. Experiencing Polish culture firsthand--something rarely encountered in Japan--left a strong impression on attendees, many of whom commented that "the event was a lot of fun" and that "it deepened their interest in Poland".

Poland Day proved to be a memorable and meaningful occasion, offering a valuable opportunity to deepen academic and cultural ties. NITech has maintained active exchanges with PUT over the years, and both universities are expected to further strengthen their ties and deepen collaboration in the future.
