Background
This workshop will be held by Shizuoka University and Taylor’s University to promote the global education and research beyond the national border and a framework of fields of study. Given the opportunity, we challenge to solve the complex issues e.g. the global environmental problem and the population problem, develop means which permit the sustainable growth of human beings, to reconstruct the state affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake and to build a strong country and social system to manage against such disasters.
Ethos of Global Green Challenges
Shizuoka University has been working on training of personnel for international collaborative research project with various Asian countries with whom we have intergovernmental agreements. In April of 2014, at the inception of Research Institute of Green Science and Technology, the concept of the education and research of Shizuoka University was named Global Green Challenges as a catch-phrase and we hope that our aggressive activities will contribute to achieving our aim.
Based on this basic spirit, Shizuoka University and overseas universities and research institutions will build strong solidarity with the education and research “Global Green Challenges Platform”. This concept of the international solidarity with mutual trusts and common agendas with proper execution can help us resolve issues and make a deep relationship. Regular contact like using Skype for meetings and classes without any cost can further assist our goals.
Strengthening of the education and research with BB7
In Asia, we have made a strong international relationship in education and research mainly among BB7 (India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia).
This program “Global Green Challenge Program” is held to realize the education and research actions in the “Global Green Challenge Platform”.

[2014.10.14] Professor Al-Atabi, Dean of school of Engineering of Taylor’s University visited Shizuoka University from Malaysia.
Professor Takayuki Saito, vice director of Research Institute of Green Science and Technology had invited Professor Al-Atabi, Dean of school of Engineering of Taylor’s University, Malaysia to Shizuoka University for exchange of opinions from 1st to 4th September by Promotion of global young student and researchers in interdisciplinary research and education programme of The Graduate School of Science and Technology (GSST).

The purpose is to build relations with Universities of booming Malaysia because this invitation promotes originality and the internationality of the young researchers and the doctoral course students in GSST.
Prof. Al-Atabi visited Research Institute of Green Science and Technology (RIGST) of Shizuoka University and toured Functional genomic section and Molecular structure analysis section of RIGST. During his stay, Prof. Al-Atabi discussed extensively about cooperation of research and student exchange program with Prof. Park, Director of RIGST, and Prof. Saito, vice director of RIGST. He also made a courtesy call on Director. Usui afterwards.
Prof. Al-Atabi paid a courtesy visit to Professor Watanabe, Director of GSST Research Division on Hamamatsu campus, then he listened to explanation of “Promotion of global young student and researchers in interdisciplinary research and education programme”. Prof. Watanabe introduced him to Shizuoka University plan about foreign students studying in major environment and energy, bioscience, and information science. The students are from Vietnam, Philippines in addition to the Bay of Bengal countries including Malaysia (Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar, Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka) in GSST. They exchanged opinions about the future activity.
Prof. Mushtak Talib Ali Al-Atabi gave the lecture about himself, Taylor’s University, Malaysia and ideals of the education for the student and the engineering field where growth and development would be expected how they are interrelated by environmental problem in the world. Approximately 50 researcher, graduate students, undergraduate students, attended the lecture in the joint research laboratory building. Prof. Al-Atabi talked “A purpose to learn is creating the job, starting business and challenging the field that students want to do, not finding a job in big company merely. Therefore I teach students a method and challenging mind to start business by themselves.” A student asked him the question, “What can Japanese students do to start business?” He answered “Anyone can show an idea through the internet. Some kind of participation is possible. It is important to have such a will.” After this lecture, a student spoke an opinion, “It was great that Prof. Al-Atabi lecture provided them with a chance to increase their ability. I was impressed by his eagerness that he taught them to realize their will.”

14 presentation were made by researchers and the graduate student in total belonging to mechanical, chemistry, environmental and energy, agricultural engineering, and information science departments afterwards. Prof. Al-Atabi showed interest in each study and asked interesting questions. The student who attended this lecture gave an opinion, “I have not had many opportunities to hear presentation about the different field. This presentation was very useful for me. I studied that each studies have different points of view for me.”
Prof. Al-Atabi visited laboratories of GSST and RIGST on Hamamatsu campus. He listened to the explanation of the study contents of professor and the student eagerly. And he asked how a student made power for a study and how the study was helpful for the society now. He advised a student, “It is important to be interested about various phenomena and you need to think about why phenomena physically occur, using the knowledge that you can have even if you don’t know the answer.” When he observed the motion of particle flocculation in Saito laboratory, he was very interested and said he would re-create the experiment in Malaysia. Opportunity was given to students to explain their results from their studies to Prof. Al-Atabi in English and received advice from him.
Prof. Al-Atabi paid a courtesy visit to Professor Masaaki Nagatsu, Dean of GSST. They discussed and exchanged opinions to build the friendly relationship on the education and the study between both universities.
Prof. Al-Atabi had a meeting with Prof. Saito that they would held the workshop at Kuala Lumpur in December.
