On September 15th, group presentations for the joint On-site Practice by GRM and "Next Environment" Collaborative Creation Course were held in the Common Room of Shikokan.

The GRM students and Daikin employees who participated in the fieldwork in the Philippines from August 29th to September 2nd divided into three teams, and conducted group presentations in English, focusing on issues facing the Philippines and solutions from the perspectives of resource management and the environment.

In addition to learning from lectures and symposiums, the students visited local companies and municipalities to gain hands-on experience, and also exchanged opinions with local students. Based on these experiences, they conducted research utilizing their own expertise, and each group gave a 20-minute presentation followed by a Q&A session.
The participants, who came from different nationalities and backgrounds, discovered the diversity of perspectives on the collaboration between government, industry, and academia in development.

There were some tough questions posed from the professors, but the participants could gain new insights by listening to the presentations and the Q&A sessions of other groups. Additionally, we were able to have employees from Daikin Industrial Technology & Innovation Center (TIC) and Daikin Philippines watch the presentations via Zoom.

With the cooperation of Daikin, the University of the Philippines, and Doshisha, the program turned out to be very fulfilling, with the preparatory lectures in July, the visit to TIC, the 5-day on-site practice, and this presentation session. 
Some "Activity Reports" by students will be posted later.
