This was followed by an introduction of UEC's research and student exchange programs, presented by Dr. Oya, Member of the Board of Directors for International and Public Relations Strategy.
There were also presentations on UEC's research collaborations with ASEAN countries, as well as programs introduced by institutions like the JSPS Bangkok Office, which operates in the ASEAN region.
