PARE Program Final Presentations
Today, three international students from Thailand have made their final presentations at Hokkaido University. This is a part of Hokkaido University PARE Program.
In our laboratory, three international students, Ms. Teeranoot Japunya, Mr. Vasitphon Pawankiattikun, and Mr. Khamphuea Somkiat, from Thammasat University, Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology, Thailand, are staying as special audit students from Jan. 8, 2015. They will leave Japan the end of July.
During their almost seven months stay at Hokkaido University, they studied hard for researching their topics and learning new fields with other students of our laboratory. Today was the official closing ceremony with their presentations. I’m please to say their presentations were excellent.
