For the purpose of cultivating mutual friendship between YNU foreign researchers and YNU faculties, YNU held the g2008 Presidentfs Banquet for Visiting Research Fellowsh at gShelshuh, located on the 2nd floor of the University Hall on July 24th (Thu).

With total of 83 peoples attending, 33 foreign researchers from 18 countries attended the party.

There were varieties of international backgrounds among them such as Asia, Africa, Europe, North/Central America and Oceania.
After the greeting speech given by President Iida and the toast message given by Executive Director Nagashima, the party began in a warm atmosphere.

There were scenes when the guests gave a speech introducing themselves, their research activities and their lives in Japan. The guests also had an opportunity to take a group photo with the President.

While YNU accepts many foreign researchers every year with rare chances to interact in the campus, this was a meaningful moment for them to gather, exchange information and make friendship with each other.
