In addition to the formal lectures and academic discussions, the Center also arranged a dinner gathering for the visiting scholars and Center members. In a more relaxed setting, participants exchanged research experiences, discussed technological developments, and explored ideas for future collaboration.

These face-to-face interactions not only enhanced mutual understanding of each other’s research directions and areas of expertise, but also strengthened international academic and research connections, laying the groundwork for broader exchanges and potential collaborations in the future.
