The University of Southern Denmark (SDU) will in the coming years open its doors to a new campus in Vejle. The campus will be focused on IT, AI, and Computer Science university degrees. We had the honor of hosting and participating in a meeting regarding the future of both the city of  Vejle, SDU Vejle, and a possible academic and cultural collaboration between Tokai University, The Tokai University European Center, The University of Southern Denmark, and the city of Vejle.

Here at The Tokai University European Center, our goal has always been to strive to establish and foster international academic and cultural collaboration. We sincerely hope that the future of TUEC, SDU, and Vejle will be full of cooperation, and we believe that our future will be brighter together!

The amazing Associate Professor Jens Sejrup, Ph.D. visited us here at The Tokai University European Center, where he gave a lecture on historic authenticity in reconstructed historic locations. It was an honor to host the event, and seeing our lectureroom almost filled to the brim brought us undesribeable joy. We would, once again, like to thank both Jens Sejrup and the many antendees of the lecture evenings.

From August to September 2023, we received students from Tokai University, for the first time since the onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2020.
Three students and two teachers from the Department of Health Management at Tokai University visited Denmark between August 27th and September 3rd. Besides the program drafted for them in Copenhagen by TUEC, they also paid a visit to VIA University College in Aarhus, which had made a one day program for the group.
Furthermore, seven students and one teacher from the Department of Global Studies visited Denmark between August 31st and September 10th. This group also paid a visit to Aarhus, where the Department of Global Studies had planned a workshop and other activities for the group.

Journalist and author Asger Røjle Christensen has covered developments in Japan for almost four decades, and he has lived and worked in the country for 13 years of his life. Throughout the years, he has observed Japan and the many Japanese people he has met - and he has reported to the best of his ability on what he has seen and understood along the way.

In recent years, he has also done this in a series of lectures at the Danish-Japanese Society based on his most recently published books. This time with the title "Mit møde med Japan - Kulturelle nedslag i min historie med Japan og japanerne" , based on the music of the Sun Day Karma Trio, he talked about a number of scattered cultural touches in his own history with Japan.

On March 17th, 2022, a workshop on Solar Cell Technologies was held as a collaboration between the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and Tokai University.

On March 3rd, 2022, the annual Japan Alumni and Research Assembly (JARA) was held at Aarhus University, as a collaboration between JSPS and TUEC and Tokai Alumni Club Denmark, with participation of the Embassy of Japan in Denmark, the Japan Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS) Stockholm, and Alumni Club Denmark.
JARA is an important event in the JSPS Alumni Club Denmark (ACD). JARA aims to promote networking within the Japan-related research community in Denmark, and to provide a forum for Danish and Japanese researchers, professionals and students to meet, and promote Japan-related research and student scholarships.
