The Joint PhD Degree Program (JDP) between Nagoya University (NU) and the University of Adelaide (UoA), launched in 2015, was the first such initiative of its type in Japan. Evolving from a student exchange, it required the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) accreditation and alignment of differing PhD admission criteria. Challenges included degree naming and eligibility requirements, which NU and UoA addressed through mutual recognition agreements. Since inception, the JDP has maintained steady enrolment, with doctoral degree students engaging in joint research and publishing over 30 peer-reviewed articles. Future developments include postdoctoral pathways and industry internships, reinforcing the Program's role in fostering and enhancing global medical research collaboration.
名古屋大学（NU）和阿德莱德大学（UoA）于2015年启动的联合博士学位项目（JDP）是日本首个此类项目。该项目从学生交流发展而来，需要日本文部科学省（MEXT）的认证以及协调不同的博士入学标准。挑战包括学位命名和资格要求，名古屋大学和阿德莱德大学通过相互认可协议解决了这些问题。自项目启动以来，JDP的招生人数一直保持稳定，博士生参与联合研究并发表了30多篇同行评审文章。未来的发展包括博士后途径和行业实习，这将加强该项目在促进和加强全球医学研究合作方面的作用。
