TUSTEM
TUSTEM (Tohoku University STEM Student Network) is an international exchange organization established in 2018 with the aim of facilitating exchange between domestic and international students enrolled in STEM faculties and graduate schools. Regardless of nationality, TUSTEM provides various study sessions and networking events to foster interaction among STEM students, as well as supports activities such as Tohoku University's science and engineering exchange programs.
What is TUSTEM
Tohoku University has many excellent STEM students, such as winners of the Science Olympics, from across the globe! However, interactions among the STEM students are unfortunately not active due to a heavy load of classes and laboratory work. In order to enhance interactions in the STEM student community, we have established an international exchange organization, TUSTEM (Tohoku University STEM Student Network).
