Joint Seminar in Nagato with Yamaguchi University and University of the Ryukyu
From September 12th to 13th, we had the opportunity to participate in a joint seminar in Nagato, Yamaguchi Prefecture, with the Sakakibara Lab at Yamaguchi University and the Kamiya Lab at the University of the Ryukyus.
At the start of the afternoon seminar on the first day, Mr. Moriyama from Mine City gave a lecture on discussions regarding the restoration of the Mine Line, which had suspended operations along its entire route due to rain damage. It was an invaluable opportunity to hear the perspectives and initiatives of local governments concerning the maintenance of regional railways.
After that, we held poster presentation sessions and oral presentation sessions throughout the first day and the morning of the second day. We received questions and advice from professors and students offering perspectives different from our usual laboratory seminars, gaining valuable insights crucial for advancing our research.
On the evening of the first day, we held a social gathering at a nearby restaurant. It was the second consecutive year we held a joint seminar with the Kamiya Lab at the University of the Ryukyus. We hope to continue these cross-regional interactions.
