Waseda University’s Top Global University (TGU) Project’s Health Promotion Unit invited Prof. Zsolt Radak (Hungarian University of Sports Science) as a Joint Appointment (JA) faculty member for the academic year 2023. Prof. Radak has been teaching not only at the Hungarian University of Sports Science, but also as a visiting professor at universities around the world, including in the United States, France, China, and Taiwan, in research fields such as exercise physiology, biological aging, training theory, and exercise biochemistry. This visit is his third stay with Waseda University as a JA faculty member.

Unlike in FY2020 and FY2021, when the COVID-19 pandemic prevented his visit to Japan, and in FY2022, when he had to communicate through a mask, this year intensive face-to-face lectures and discussions are possible, and Prof. Radak is even more excited about the exchanges between academics and students.
