Since 1997, Japanese-Tunisian Cooperation in Science, Technology, and
Humanities & Social Sciences has gone through a new era by starting and
intensifying academic meetings. More than thirty joint seminars and
symposia have been organized since, accompanied by various exchanges of
visiting researchers in both directions. The necessity to further promote sustainable Tunisia-Japan Partnership
in Knowledge and to reinforce cooperation between Tunisian and Japanese
researchers in the different fields of the science, technology and the study of
humanities and social sciences has become evident and start to be perceived
as an essential enterprise. This should provide researchers from both
countries with a setting to share and discuss the outcome of their
collaborative work, while also advance mutual understanding, a
precondition for shaping a constructive international environment whereby
people from different national and cultural backgrounds interact in the
pursuit of shared values of progress.
Accordingly, during May 2000, the First Tunisia-Japan Symposium in
Science, Society and Technology was held in Tunis. The Ministry of Foreign
Affairs (Tunisia), the Ministry of Higher Education (Tunisia) and the
Embassy of Tunisia in Japan sponsored the event. Six years have passed
since the first symposium was organized. Since then, academic networks and
scientific partnership and friendship between Tunisian and Japanese
researchers have been constantly emerging.
Having witnessed these positive signs and aware of the importance of
further promoting this trend, Tunisian and Japanese researchers decided to
capitalize on their constructive and encouraging experiences of cooperation
and organize the 7th edition of the Tunisia-Japan Symposium in Science,
Society and Technology (TJASSST 2006).
This year’s exceptionality, is that it will be held 50 years after Tunisia
and Japan decided to have diplomatic relationships
