The Student Branch Networking Workshop 2025 at Hokkaido is organized to bring together Student Branch members from across Japan for discussions on future collaboration strategies and the further development of SB activities.

At the IEEE Student Branch Leadership Training Workshop (SBLTW) 2025, held on September 28, 2025, each SB shared its activities and challenges through poster presentations.
Building on those discussions, this workshop will focus on developing concrete ideas for future co-hosted events and establishing a sustainable framework for continued cooperation.

On Day 1, participating students will deliver research presentations and activity reports to deepen mutual understanding of each SB’s initiatives.
In addition, the IEICE Tohoku University SB will conduct an Activity Report & Event Management seminar to support the enhancement of planning and organizational skills across SBs.

On Day 2, we will hold a discussion session on SB cooperation, aiming to organize specific proposals for future activities and potential joint events.
These ideas will serve as a foundation for planning collaborative projects and continuous cooperation in the coming years.

We sincerely look forward to your participation.
