On March 24, 2026, the Reunion Symposium and the EEST Program Completion Ceremony were held at IGSES, Kyushu University.

The event brought together current students from PNU, SJTU, UTM, and KU, along with faculty members from each institution, fostering active exchange and discussion. The morning session was held as a hybrid open forum, welcoming a wide range of participants from both within and outside the university. Students were happy to meet again with friends and supervisors they met through the program, and they spent a meaningful time together.

During the Symposium, M1 and M2 students in both double-degree (DD) and non- double-degree (Non-DD) programs gave presentations about their experiences in study abroad programs and summer schools. They talked about what they learned, their daily life abroad, cultural exchange, and their personal growth. They also shared ideas to improve the program. These presentations gave useful suggestions for the future and showed how much the students have grown.

At the EEST Program Completion Ceremony, certificates from UTM, degree diplomas from PNU, and EEST Program completion certificates were given to each student by professors from each university. The ceremony was warm and friendly, and the students’ efforts and achievements were recognized.

We hope that the knowledge and connections gained from this experience will help the participants in their future, and we wish them continued success.
