Faculty and Students from National Taiwan University of Science and Technology Participate in CIF2026

Faculty members and students from the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST), a partner university of Chitose Institute of Science and Technology (CIST) under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), visited Hokkaido for approximately one week from September 1, 2026.
 

During their stay, they visited the Faculty of Engineering and the Hokkaido University Museum at Hokkaido University, as well as MinebeaMitsumi Inc. and the Kirin Beer Hokkaido Chitose Factory. These visits provided them with opportunities to learn about research, technology, and industry in Hokkaido.
 

The students also participated in CIF26 (Chitose International Forum on Science and Technology 2026), held from September 2 to 4. A total of 20 students from NTUST presented their research at the forum. NTUST students received awards including the Best Paper Award and the Best Poster Award, making the forum a valuable opportunity for them to present the results of their research and engage in an international academic setting..
 

During CIF2026, the NTUST students also interacted with CIST students through the forum and social events. Faculty members from NTUST expressed their appreciation for the opportunity, noting that for many of the students, this was their first visit to Hokkaido and their first experience presenting their research at an academic forum. They also appreciated the opportunity for the students to build new connections through interactions with CIST students.
 

In addition to research presentations and student exchanges, the visit provided the NTUST delegation with opportunities to experience universities, companies, and the culture of Hokkaido, further strengthening the relationship between the two universities.
 

CIST will continue to promote exchanges with its MOU partner universities and further strengthen collaboration through international and academic exchanges among students and faculty members.
