COMP Students Enjoy Cultural and Intellectual Exchange in Japan

14 Jun 2019


To provide Computer Science students with diversified learning experience and opportunities to explore different culture and workplace practice, the Department organized study tour to Osaka and Kyoto, Japan in summer 2019 again. A total of 11 COMP students benefitted from the tour which broadened their horizons through workshops, laboratory tours and academic and cultural exchange.

During the 5-day tour on 10-14 June 2019, the group visited Osaka University and Ritsumeikan University, attended talks and workshops delivered by faculty members and research students. The laboratory tours were eye-opening, in various research fields, such as Symbiotic Media, Crypto and Cyber Security, etc. Intensive discussion and exchange were made during the academic visits.

We are grateful to the warm welcome and thoughtful tours during the trip by:
  • Prof. Tomoyuki Terai, Center for International Affairs & Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka University; and
  • Dr. Murakami Yohei, Ritsumeikan University
