February 20 - 25, 2023
Student Exchange Program
National Taiwan Univ. and Okayama Univ.
Research Experiences in the field of Environmental Management at Okayama University for Department of Bioenvironmental Systems Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taiwan
Welcome Message
Prof. Morihiro MAEDA
I am pleased to hold the student exchange event between National Taiwan University (NTU) and Okayama University (OU), which is supported by Sakura Science Exchange program, Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST). Seven students from OU and eight from NTU participated in the event. This program is bidirectional between the two universities. We will have another exchange event at NTU in August 2023 by sending OU students, which WESCO Co. LTD will financially support.
The Environmental Management course at OU and the Department of Bioenvironmental Systems Engineering at NTU have similar backgrounds in rural engineering and environmental sciences. Both departments have strengthened biological and ecological research areas, emphasizing practical field science. By visiting research fields in both counties during the events, students will learn about environmental problems and related research activities. In addition, these opportunities are suitable for matching a student with their future host professor. I hope many highly motivated students from NTU come to the Master and Ph.D. programs at OU in the near future.
