Online Exchange Program

Okayama University, University of Ruhuna, and National Taiwan University

Research Experiences in the field of Environmental Management at Okayama University for Faculty of Agriculture, University of Ruhuna, Sri Lanka, and Department of Bioenvironmental Systems Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taiwan

Welcome Message 

Chief Program Coordinator

Prof. Morihiro MAEDA 

I am very happy to hold the Sakura Science Exchange program at Okayama University supported by JST (Japan Science and Technology Agency) for Faculty of Agriculture, University of Ruhuna, Sri Lanka, and Department of Bioenvironmental Systems Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taiwan. Even though students could not come to Okayama University because of the COVID-19 condition this year, our technology make our geographical distance closer. This online exchange program will enhance our cooperation and collaboration definitely. 

This is the fourth Sakura Science event for Sri Lankan students, and the first event for Taiwanese students. These opportunities are really good for matching a student with his/her suitable host professor. Currently, two Sri Lankan students study very hard at my laboratory.

Through this program, I hope many highly motivated students from Sri Lanka and Taiwan come to Master and Ph.D programs at Okayama University in the near future.
