From August 28th to September 6th 2024, Dr. S.S. Bhatnagar University Institute of Chemical Engineering & Technology students, representing Panjab University, participated in a 10-day Student Exchange Program at Yokohama National University (YNU) in Japan. The program's theme was "Developing Sustainability Transformation (SX) Human Resources." It effectively combined academic excellence with cultural immersion, empowering students to tackle global sustainability challenges.

During the program, students attended enlightening lectures on renewable energy transitions, the role of artificial intelligence in sustainability, and climate tipping points. They engaged in group discussions and participated in a student symposium, where their team, Group 5, won first place by presenting innovative strategies for transitioning to a decarbonized society.

The experience also included industry visits to NHK SPRING, the NOK Shonan R&D Center, and CoorsTek, where students were exposed to cutting-edge technologies, such as hydrogen fuel cells and sustainable manufacturing practices. Additionally, cultural tours enhanced their experience, featuring visits to the serene Sankeien Garden, the iconic Yokohama Ferris Wheel, and the bustling Akihabara district in Tokyo. The students built friendships during informal activities, including karaoke nights. Overall, the program was a transformative experience that blended academic growth with cultural understanding, reflecting the department's commitment to equipping students with a global perspective to address real-world sustainability challenges.

Students from Yokohama National University (YNU) recently embarked on a transformative visit to the University Institute of Chemical Engineering and Technology (UICET) at Panjab University as part of an impactful student exchange program designed to enhance cross-cultural understanding and foster academic collaboration. While at UICET, the students engaged with the Dean of International Affairs and connected with international peers, sharing valuable experiences and insights.

The students had the pleasure of exploring Chandigarh’s rich cultural heritage alongside its modern architecture, visiting iconic landmarks such as the Rock Garden, Sukhna Lake, the Art Museum, Gandhi Bhawan, and the Botanical Garden. They were captivated by the city's seamless blend of tradition and innovation, evident in its serene gardens and dynamic urban landscape. In addition to cultural exploration, the students toured several prominent industries, including Mondelez Cadbury, Tynor Orthotics Pvt Ltd, and Gillard Electronics Pvt Ltd. These visits provided profound insights into the practical applications of their academic studies and showcased the vibrant business environment of the region.

The exchange program also included community engagement activities, immersing the students in local lifestyles, customs, and the famed hospitality of the area. This enriching experience has significantly strengthened the ties between YNU and UICET, promoting mutual understanding and robust academic collaboration between the two esteemed institutions.
