Sakura and SSSVexchange program

Introduction
Shizuoka University has conducted JST-Sakura and SSSV program(Laboratory Exchange Program) of five days in graduate school of engineeringsponsored by JST and organised by Shizuoka University with SRM University.
This program inspired the students with new creative ideas and new fields inwhich professors of Shizuoka University are currently working and the studentsof Shizuoka University and SRM University presented about their researchworks.
