With the support of JICA, Mexico has participated in programs of technical cooperation with the Japanese government through the exchange of technicians who have developed projects in Japan in different research institutes and government laboratories run by different ministries and agencies. In JFY1996, a total of 184 technicians participated in different JICA training courses.
Every year there are many exchanges of researchers and students between the Netherlands and Japan.
However, there are also many other ways by which the exchange of researchers and students takes place. Bilateral agreements between several Dutch and Japanese universities and research institutes help promote these exchanges. Cooperative scientific relationships between Tokyo University and Leiden University, Rikkyo University and Nijmegen University, and Tsukuba University and Utrecht University serve as good examples. The Agreement allows for an extremely broad range of cooperation, overseen by regular meetings of senior officials and administrators. There are also many exchanges of researchers.
