On February 5th and 6th, Kanazawa University co-hosted a joint symposium with Chiang Mai University, and approximately 30 participants including President Shin-ichi Nakamura, President Niwes Nantachit of Chiang Mai University, and vice presidents and faculty members from both universities took part.
This symposium was organized based on the university-level international partnership which was concluded in January 2008, and took place on the 50th foundation anniversary year for Chiang Mai University, with the purpose of promoting research exchange and bringing the two universities even closer. The event was held on Chiang Mai University campus, and there were presentations of the most advanced research results as well as a roundtable discussion on the future researcher and student exchange activities.
On the 6th, Kanazawa University delegates went on tours of engineering and medical research facilities at Chiang Mai University, and received explanations about the research work and the newest results. The visit was very meaningful for both sides.
