Sample Comments
・ Such kind of workshops can really help to cross boundaries and think globally
・ I got to share my research with other RESEARDENTs. It gave me a good confidence to talk about my 　research in front of students. Also I got to learn about other students research work.
・ I was happy to have a chance to present my research in real condition and also exchange freely with other 　people about research topics that I’m not familiar with or spontaneously interested in. It was very refreshing.
・ In addition to discussing research, we also shared aspects of our lives.
