朝から静宜大学の学食でエネルギーチャージした４人。留学生のみなさんが中国語のメニュー解読や注文を手伝ってくださり、それぞれ美味しいご飯にありつけたようです。

　９時からはいよいよ国際長の林博士にも同席いただいて、研修開始。クラゲ班、オリーブ班、教師班の順にそれぞれ１０分ずつ発表します。昨夜の練習でうまくいかなかった点を改善したり、観客の反応を見るために新規で質問を取り入れたりという工夫がうまくいき、手応えを感じている様子です。それぞれの班の発表後、化粧品学科の顔教授より研究計画や研究方法についてのご助言をいただきました。また、熊本出身で静宜大学で勉強している３人の日本人留学生にも同席していただき、大学の紹介や学んでいること、台湾の生活で感じていることについてお話を聞く機会もありました。

　その後、化粧品科学学科副教授の呉先生の研究室での実習がありました。化粧品に使われる材料等が所狭しと並び、何ともいえない良い香りがする研究室と、芸能人のようにファッショナブルでオーラのある呉先生に、一瞬で魅了される生徒たち。化粧品と香水に関する実習や、付加価値をつけた日焼け止めをはじめとする進行中の研究についての説明を受け、自分たちの研究がどのように社会実装につながるかを考える機会となりました。

   “I get up in the morning looking for an adventure.” by George Foreman (an American boxer)

    We all met in the cafeteria. Some international students came and helped us with the menu written in Chinese and placed our orders in Chinese. Everyone seems to be able to enjoy a delicious meal.

　At 9:00 a.m., the training began with International Director Dr. Liu in attendance. Each group gave a 10-minute presentation. The students improved on points that did not go well in last night's practice and introduced new questions to make their presentations even better. After each presentation, Dr. Yen of the Department of Cosmetics Science gave advice on research plans and methods. Three Japanese students from Kumamoto were also present and introduced the university, talking about what they are learning and how they feel about life in Taiwan. 

　The group then visited the laboratory of Dr. Wu, Associate Professor of the Department of Cosmetic Science. The students were instantly attracted by the indescribably fragrant laboratory, where fragrances used in cosmetics were lined up everywhere. They were also impressed by Dr. Wu, who was fashionable and looked like a celebrity. The students were taught about cosmetics and perfumes and were given an explanation of ongoing research. This experience gave them an opportunity to think about how their research could be implemented in society.
