The 27th GEL-SIT seminar took place (note: the 26th seminar was not held). This time also, the B4 students reported on the progress of their graduation theses. Although the end of the year is approaching, this is a period in which research outcomes tend to accelerate. We were pleased to see that the steady efforts each of you has made are beginning to take shape. We hope that you will continue to advance your work at a sustainable pace and that your research will further deepen and develop. We look forward to seeing your continued progress and future achievements.
