2024.09.12

On Saturday, September 7, 2024, the University of Electro-Communications (UEC) held The 11th UEC Seminar at the Academy of Cryptography Techniques (ACT) in Hanoi, Vietnam, inviting prominent researchers, government officials, and business representatives from ASEAN countries and affiliated institutions.

The UEC Seminar in ASEAN is an annual event organized by the UEC ASEAN Research and Education Center (UAREC), which has been held every year in the ASEAN region since 2015. This year's seminar marked its 11th edition and was conducted in a hybrid format, combining in-person participation at the local venue with online attendees.

The seminar began with opening speeches by Assoc. Prof. Nattapong Kitsuwan, Director of UAREC, and Nguyen Hieu Minh, Vice President of ACT, the host university. Following these, a representative from the Embassy of Japan in Vietnam and guest speakers from partner universities and research institutions in the ASEAN region delivered addresses. This was followed by a speech from UEC President Tano and an introduction of UEC's research and student exchange programs, presented by Dr. Oya, Member of the Board of Directors for International and Public Relations Strategy.

Additionally, greetings and an introduction of activities were provided by Mr. Mori, Chairman of UEC Alumni Association Megurokai. There were also presentations on UEC's research collaborations with ASEAN countries, as well as programs introduced by institutions like the JSPS Bangkok Office, which operates in the ASEAN region. The seminar concluded with a closing speech from Dr. Oya.

Despite concerns about the impact of Typhoon YAGI, the strongest in 20 years to approach Hanoi, more than 50 participants, including representatives from universities, businesses, and government organizations across ASEAN, attended both in person and online. We extend our deepest gratitude to the speakers and participants for their valuable contributions, and we look forward to further educational and research exchanges between UEC and universities in the ASEAN region.
