Student Networking Event at the 2018 Hokkaido Joint Convention of Institutes of Electrical and Information Engineers

A student exchange meeting sponsored by IEICE/IEEE HU student branch was held on Oct 27 in Hokkaido University. This was a part of 2018 Joint Convention Record, the Hokkaido Chapters of the Institutes of Electrical and Information Engineers. A total of four people from three universities; Hokkaido University, Muroran Institute of Technology, Kitami Institute of Technology presented such as their research topics, and the activity of their academic society.

Our Branch presided at the meeting. Chair Yamada moderated, and Takanashi of Master’s 1st year reported the activity of IEEE Student Branch and presented the merit of developing branches, as IEEE SB at Hokkaido University.

That was a good experience of acquiring knowledge about regular research lives of each university and field, through some sessions.

IEEE R10 SYWL Congress in Bali

So Tsuyuguchi (M2) attended to the IEEE R10 SYWL Congress in Bali from August 30 to September 2 as a representative of the Hokkaido University student branch.
Region 10, consisting of IEEE’s Asia-Pacific region countries, has approximately 73,000 members and is the world’s largest international organization.This time I was aiming to increase the presence of the IEEE Japan Section and Sapporo Section by feeling the motivation to exchange opinions and research with international
exchange with many IEEE members.

In this Congress, there are many places to interact with students from various countries, and in addition to workshops, we were able to experience exchange with many students in tea time, conversation in the hotel, culture sessions and so on. I feel that all the experiences
I felt as a result of exchanging opinions and motivation for research were in these international exchanges.
I would like to return this experience to juniors and students in the university from now on.
