Towards the future, Together with the World
On Oct 11, we participated in UCLG(United Cities and Local Governments) World congress, which is held every three years as a movement driven by peace, solidarity and city diplomacy. This year Daejeon metropolitan city of the Republic of Korea hosts the event and our students, Rosarin Akanit & Diana Oviedo, contributed to holding the event in part by inviting the mayors from Thailand & Costa Rica.
We joined the session, Urban Innovation Led by Science and Technology, and the mayors and deputy mayors from the local governments of South Korea, Thailand, Costa Rica, France and Australia shared their STI policies for Urban Sustainability. Especially our students, Rosarin Akanit & Diana Oviedo, played an integral role to invite the mayors in the session.
Also, in another session, deep dive forum for Global Climate Solution & Business Development, our students discussed how to promote technical cooperation through discovering joint projects in response to the global climate crisis and presented their ideas on joint planning of green ODA projects for developing countries, joint R&D planning as a response to future-leading climate change and so forth.
We are delighted to take part in UCLG world congress and also highly proud of our students' collaboration with the local governments of Thailand and Costa Rica. We hope our students can play a role for the international development agendas discussed in UCLG in the future.
