In the evening, a networking reception was held, and further exchanges of opinions took place.
On the following day, November 26th, the visiting professors visited the wholesale and intermediate wholesale sections of the Toyosu Market, which boasts the world's largest volume of marine products trade. As it is rare to have the opportunity to visit and receive explanations about the intermediate wholesale section in particular, the participants listened with great interest to the explanations and asked many questions.
Next, the group visited the Etchujima Campus and visited the laboratories of Associate Professor Mitsuhiro Masuda (Course of Maritime Technology and Logistics), Professor Junichiro Tahara, and Associate Professor Shohei Komeda (both Course of Marine System Engineering), where they listened with interest to the explanations they received. Finally, they visited the Marine AI Development and Evaluation Center(MAIDEC) and received an explanation of the marine AI Consortium from Associate Professor Toru Kino.
