2026Years3Month16On [date], students from Minerva University, headquartered in the United States, visited our university and interacted with our students, as well as toured research laboratories and other facilities.
　First, we introduced ourselves to the university students and exchanged information about the research we are conducting at the university and our areas of interest. Afterwards, led by the university students, we toured the Marine Science Museum and the laboratories of Professor Ryosuke Yazawa and Associate Professor Keiichiro Koshuku.
