November 26-27, 2024

We are pleased to announce that the 19th ICAST 2024 Taipei will be held at National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) on November 26-27, 2024

Global Joint Education Center for Science and Technology (GJEC) of Graduate School of Science and Technology (GSST), Kumamoto University, has been organizing ICAST annually since 2008 to promote international exchanges among students and to development cooperation in research and education with overseas partner universities. As ICAST is organized and managed mostly by students, it gives a great opportunity for them to foster their leadership and communication skills in the international setting as well as to gain better understanding of their research.

Owing to kind cooperation from overseas partner universities ICAST took place in Peking University (China), Ewha Womans University (Korea), Ege University (Turkey), Shandong University (China), University of Seoul (Korea), University of Clermont Auvergne (France), Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) (Indonesia), National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology (Taiwan), and De La Salle University (Philippine), and Hasanuddin University (Indonesia), in addition to Kumamoto University.

Active participation of students not only in presentation but also in management of the conference is vital to ICAST. Please see the following information for registration. We hope that many students are interested and eager to participate in this event.
