Afterwards, we had two special speeches.
Dr. Phonpat Hemwan obtained Ph.D. under RONPAKU program and Dr. Wasu Pathom-aree involved with the Core to Core program.

Both two said that they could earn a lot of meaningful experiences with Japanese researchers and students through the programs they were involved.
We believe that this guidance seminar was quite useful for the audience to understand JSPS programs.
We appreciated all the audience coming.
