While abnormal climate is getting more serious than ever, ecological issues need more and more attention. The Department of Chemical Engineering, the Institute of Biotechnology & Chemical Engineering, and the Department of Civil and Ecological Engineering of ISU held a seminar jointly with Ishikawa Prefectural University, Japan, inviting some 40 scholars from Taiwan and Japan to share their studies and exchange opinions.

Scholars from Japan visited President Chen (third from right) and had a lively discussion on how to integrate the concept of Satoyama into ISU’s USR project.
