3月1日、筑波大学とベトナム国家大学ホーチミン校・科学大学による合同シンポジウムが開催されました。
それぞれの研究分野についてプレゼンを行い、学生にとっては腕試しの貴重な機会に。準備では、本学のVan Cat Khanh先生が八面六臂の大活躍でした！Kiong Ho先生が代表で締結された部局間交流協定の記事はこちらをご覧ください。
On March 1st, a joint symposium was held between the University of Tsukuba and the University of Science, Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City.
Students had a great chance to showcase their research and test their skills through presentations in their respective fields. A huge shoutout to Dr. Van Cat Khanh from our university, who played a key role and was absolutely everywhere making things happen! Please see the article about the interdepartmental exchange agreement represented by Dr. Kiong Ho.
同日、野村名可男先生もお忙しい中ホーチミン市内に駆けつけてくださり、シンポジウムから夕方開催のTUAN（筑波大学同窓会）の集まりが実現。本学の学生たちも参加し、現地で活躍する頼もしい先輩方との交流に花が咲きました。
That same day, Dr. Nakao Nomura kindly made time in his busy schedule to join us in Ho Chi Minh City, helping make theTUAN (University of Tsukuba Alumni) gathering happen in the evening after the symposium. Our students also joined the event and had a great time connecting with inspiring alumni who are doing amazing work locally!
3月2日は文化体験の日！現地の自然に触れながら、土や植物を間近に見て、南国ならではの珍しい食べ物やローカルな風景を満喫した学生たち。日本との違いに驚きつつ、どこか似ていると感じられる発見の連続でした。
March 2nd was Culture Day!
The students immersed themselves in the local nature—getting up close with the soil and plants, and enjoying tropical foods and vibrant scenery unique to the region. They were amazed by the differences from Japan, yet pleasantly surprised to find some unexpected similarities too. It was a journey full of discoveries.
3月3日〜5日には、いよいよベトナム国家大学ホーチミン校・国際大学にて、DOJOワークショップ「Biomedical Materials and Technologies Workshop」を開催。国際大学のLong先生の全面的なご協力のもと、現地の学生と筑波大生がタッグを組んで、無事にすべてのプログラムをやり遂げました！
From March 3rd to 5th, the DOJO workshop ‘Biomedical Materials and Technologies Workshop’ was held at International University, Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City. With the full support of Dr. Long from the International University, local students and Tsukuba University students teamed up and successfully completed all the programs!
そして忘れてはいけないのが、両サイドで仁王立ちして支えてくださった本学の渡邊幸秀先生と現地のQuynh先生。見守りの眼差しと真剣なサポートに心から感謝です！Quynh先生の長年にわたる継続的なご尽力には心から感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。筑波大学inホーチミン研究活動に「歴史を作った方」と呼ぶのが相応しいのかもしれません。
And we must not forget Dr. Yukihide Watanabe from our university and Dr. Quynh, who stood firmly on both sides and offered their steadfast support. We are truly grateful for their watchful eyes and wholehearted assistance! We are deeply grateful for Dr. Quynh‘s long-standing and continuous efforts. It may be fitting to refer to her as the one who has ‘made history’ in the activities of the University of Tsukuba in Ho Chi Minh.
ラストにはお茶会体験！抹茶を点てる役にご指名されたのは渡邊先生と本学のAlumniでもあるLong先生。お二人を通して学生たちには「侘び寂び」の世界観を味わっていただきました。🍵
To wrap things up, there was a tea ceremony experience! Dr. Watanabe and Dr. Long who is also an alumnus of the University of Tsukuba were chosen to prepare and serve matcha as part of the tea ceremony. Through their performance, the students were able to get a taste of the world of wabi-sabi.🍵
