The symposium will be conducted in English. If you are interested in presenting your paper, please send your abstract with CV to Ms Ye（yehsophia@ntu.edu.tw）by 23 October 2023. The organization committee will select 4 abstracts on each side to be presented in the symposium (12 min. presentation with pptx and 8 min. Q&A).
