About Owada Chair
The universities of Tokyo and Leiden jointly established a chair named after Professor Hisashi Owada in 2022. The chair focuses on the interaction between international law and international relations from an interdisciplinary perspective and takes the shape of a series of lectures by prominent keynote speakers, followed by a symposium in which students and PhD candidates from both universities participate.
