ESRP, Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology, The University of Tokyo co-organised with the Pacific Forum a workshop with young researchers and practitioners from Southeast Asia invited to the CONVERGE conference, mainly with students related to the ESRP of the University of Tokyo (09/10/2024) .

The young participants alone had a preliminary discussion on the topics to be taken up at the international conference ‘CONVERGE: Forging International Partnerships and Collaboration on AI and Semiconductors’ to be held on 10-11 October. In particular, there was a lively exchange of views on the differences in perception of the current situation in advanced technology cooperation between developed countries such as Japan, the US and Europe (those with the technology) and South East Asian countries (those who want the technology).



After the conference, a networking dinner was held to deepen exchanges among the young participants.
