 On 17 September, the JSPS Alumni Club in Finland held its general meeting and a seminar at the University of Helsinki. At the meeting, a report was given on the current year's activities, new members confirmed, executives rotated, and honorary members selected. A proposal was voiced to enhance the Club's webpage embedded in the JSPS Stockholm Office's website operated by the Offic's local staff, and a decision made to proceed in doing so with the cooperation of the Club's executives. Then, a seminar was held on the theme "Ice and Snow." The seminar had been planned in cooperation between the Club and Hokkaido University's Helsinki Office. Attended by about 50 people, the seminar began with a Finnish student who had studied in Japan telling about his experiences, followed by lectures from Prof. Takeo Hondoh, vice president, Hokkaido University, Dr. Ralf Greve, professor, Hokkaido University, and three specialists in the subject field. Their presentations and the animated discussion they spawned culminated in a very successful event. - JSPS Stockholm Office  |
