Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) and Chulalongkorn University (CU) have a long history of friendship and close mutual cooperation, starting with the signing of an academic collaboration agreement between the TMDU Faculty of Dentistry and the CU Faculty of Dentistry in 1991. Before the initiation of the project entitled “Core University Program in Dentistry (1996-2005)", the universities cooperated in a training program for young professors (JSPS, 1992-1994), a symposium at CU on cutting-edge biomaterials research at TMDU (1993), and an international academic research study on serious maxillofacial defects (MEXT, 1993-1995). In 2002, the TMDU Faculty of Medicine and the CU Faculty of Medicine signed their own academic collaboration agreement. In furtherance of these agreements, and to promote integrated academic collaboration and scholarly exchange between the two universities, the presidents of each university agreed to establish the CU-TMDU Research and Education Collaboration Center at the CU Faculty of Dentistry on November 23, 2009.
