    role as one of safety lectures for next candidates who hope to participate in it in the future.

    In the session, Mr. Tomoaki Hashizaki, 1st year doctoral student of Graduate School of Advanced Science and
    Technology, Mr. Tatsuya Nakata, 2nd year master’s student of School of Materials Science and Ms. Keiko Iwata,
    1st year master's student of Graduate School of Advanced Science and Technology reported what induced them
    to participate in this program, the outcomes of their research and lifestyle in India, and what they gained
    through this program. Mr. Hashizaki and Mr. Nakata stayed in Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and
    Ms. Iwata stayed in Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar. It was a very fruitful session especially for

    "Global Research and Development and Innovation Training" was conducted.

    "Global Research and Development and Innovation Training" was conducted from February 28 to March 3,
    2017, and 15 members from JAIST participated in the training. This training consisted of three pillars: company
    visits, hosting a seminar and India cross-cultural training.

    Professors and students from JAIST have visited four local companies, Tata Elxsi Limited, Rohm Semiconductor
    India Pvt. Ltd, IBM Research India and Wipro Limited, on February 28 and March 2. Having not only visited two
    of four companies with Indian capital, but also one with Japanese capital and one with US capital, students
    seem to have learnt the difference of corporate culture originated from cultural habits in each home country,
    and felt the momentum of economic growth in India.
