The CSI Singapore – Kyoto University Joint Symposium 2025 concluded successfully after three inspiring days (24–26 November) at the National University of Singapore.

The symposium opened with remarks by NUS President Prof. Tan Eng Chye, KU President Prof. Nagahiro Minato, and a warm welcome from CSI Singapore Director Prof. Ashok Venkitaraman, followed by a distinguished keynote lecture by Prof. Minato.

Researchers from both institutes shared cutting-edge insights across multiple sessions, strengthening scientific dialogue and collaboration. Beyond the lectures, our KU guests also enjoyed visits to the National Orchid Garden and shared memorable dinners with colleagues.

A big thank you to all speakers, session chairs & participants for making this year’s symposium a meaningful platform for scientific exchange and partnership.
