On December 16, Okayama University Vice President for International
Affairs and Director of the Six National Universities International
Education, Research System (International Collaboration Division) for
the Consortium of Six National Universities (SixERS) SUZUKI Takayoshi
co-hosted an online symposium for SixERS and the University System of
Taipei (UST) in collaboration with the National Taipei University of
Technology, which acts as the secretariat office for UST. The aim of the
joint symposium was to promote research exchange and establish a
network between the members of SixERS (Chiba University, Niigata
University, Kanazawa University, Okayama University, Nagasaki University
and Kumamoto University) and UST (Taipei Medical University, National
Taipei University of Technology, National Taipei University and National
Taiwan Ocean University).
Although SixERS officially signed an international exchange agreement
with UST in June 2020, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, this
symposium was the first official collaborative exchange activity since
signing the agreement.
The main theme of the symposium was “Aging Population” and twenty
researchers representing the ten participating universities gave
presentations in one of four sessions: Medicine & Life Sciences,
Engineering & Technology, Interdisciplinary Studies & More and
Social Sciences. Okayama University Professor KANDA Takefumi from the
Graduate school of Natural Science and Technology gave a presentation
titled “Actuators for novel mechatronics system” during the Engineering
& Technology session, while Professor KIWA Toshihiko from the
Graduate School of Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering in Health
Systems gave a presentation titled “Advanced terahertz chemical
microscopy for medical applications” during the Interdisciplinary
Studies & More session.
Over ninety students and researchers from participating universities
registered to take part in the online symposium, which served to be a
meaningful opportunity to exchange opinions on declining birth rates and
aging populationsgrave social problems that both Japan and Taiwan face.
Using this event as a stepping stone to more frequent exchange
opportunities, Okayama University and SixERS hope to deepen research and
academic exchange with UST in the near future.
