Kumamoto University is pleased to inform you that the 20th ICAST will be held at National Chiayi University in Taiwan on November 26-27, 2025. ICAST is an international conference organized by students for students, where students will present research in English as well as get involved in planning and execution of the conference. This year National Chiayi University is kindly co-hosting ICAST with us.

We started ICAST in 2008 to provide students opportunities for international experiences, to foster their management and leadership skills and to promote cooperation among our partner universities. Since then, ICAST has been hosted by our partner universities and taken place in Peking University, Ewha Womans University, Ege University, Shandong University, University of Seoul, University of Clermont Auvergne, Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS), National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology, De La Salle University, Hasanuddin University, and National Taiwan Normal University. We appreciate very much your kind and dedicated cooperation for this joint activity.

Please extend our invitation to your students for ICAST 2025. We hope this conference will offer a platform for students to get together and present their work and exchange ideas, through which we will further develop our cooperation in education and research among our partner universities.
