Workshop goal

Based on an agreement of three institutes from Japan (NAIST-BS; Graduate School of Biological Sciences, Nara Institute of Science and Technology), USA (UCD-CBS; College of Biological Sciences, University of California, Davis), and China (CAS-IGDB; Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences), NAIST will invite US and Chinese students to participate in an International Student Workshop, a one-week student exchange program to be held once a year from 2007 to 2011. About ten graduate students will be selected each from NAIST, UC Davis, and CAS IGDB, based on a specific scientific field (“Cell signaling” for the 2008 workshop), and will stay together for three days in the same accommodation. Participating students are responsible for on-site organization of the workshop, and will present and discuss their current research activities. All programs will be in English. We hope that in-depth discussion in a closed environment will promote international scientific and cultural exchanges at the personal level, and will facilitate practical communication among young scientists through a common language, English.
