The Heller School, Brandeis University, and the Graduate School of International Development at Nagoya University have established an academic exchange partnership to promote research and opportunities for students and faculty alike. Through this partnership, beginning in the 2024-2025 academic year, Heller and Nagoya GSID will exchange faculty, administrative staff, researchers, and graduate students. The schools will also conduct collaborative research and hold joint lectures and symposia.
The Graduate School of International Development at Nagoya University in Nagoya, Japan, is committed to understanding and creating solutions for the contemporary problems facing our world. By examining the existing policy frameworks and applying innovative approaches to these challenges, Nagoya GISD strives to empower students to be leaders in effecting positive societal change for the global community.

“The mission of Nagoya GSID is well aligned with the goals and aspirations of Heller,” said Dr. Ravi Lakshmikanthan, MA SID'99, Associate Dean, Global and Strategic Initiatives at Heller. “I had the pleasure of visiting Nagoya University this past April to meet with their leadership team and discuss how our schools could work together. We are excited to collaborate and look forward to the many opportunities that will arise through this partnership.”
