A group of alumni gathered in Taipei for a warm reunion during Professor Nagasaka's recent visit to Taiwan for a joint research meeting with National Taiwan University. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Professor Nagasaka and Mr. Jingu were invited by distinguished alumni and colleagues from the materials science community to an informal dinner. The gathering brought together nine participants, including members of the Taiwan Alumni Association.

The evening provided an opportunity not only to reconnect but also to discuss future initiatives for the alumni community in Taiwan. Participants expressed strong interest in welcoming a larger delegation from Tohoku University to the next Taiwan Alumni Association General Meeting, particularly faculty members from the Graduate School of Engineering and the Graduate School of Environmental Studies. As Taiwan has a particularly large community of engineering graduates, especially alumni from the materials science field, they noted that visits by former board members of the university would serve as a strong incentive for alumni to gather.

The enthusiastic response from attendees highlighted the strength of Tohoku University's alumni network in Taiwan and their continued desire to deepen ties with their alma mater through future events and academic exchanges.
