They enjoyed a strong academic exchange atmosphere through different activities at the workshop.
The participating students put great effort into preparing their academic reports and research posters, and shared their scientific research progress and experience with each other.
The workshop’s organizing committee and mentors and students from the United States and Japan were impressed by the scientific research progress made by Chinese graduate students, and spoke highly of their communication abilities and innovative thinking.
A variety of ice-breaker activities were also held during the event to help students from different countries quickly get to know each other. The virtual meeting soon warmed up through an interactive game to distinguish science and technology achievements.
At a cultural exchange session that took place on November 11, students from three countries introduced the colorful campus culture of UC Davis, local customs along the west coast of the United States; the NAIST and beautiful local scenery and delicacies in Nara; and the profound scientific research foundation and beautiful campus scenery of CAS and the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, as well as the ancient and mysterious Forbidden City in Beijing through virtual participation.
The three-day event provided students from different countries with excellent opportunities to conduct academic exchanges, broaden their horizons, make new friends, and increase their confidence in using English to communicate.
