Information Exchange and Social Meeting with Fukuoka Section
The Japan Council sponsored information exchange meeting with Fukuoka Section from 16:00 at
the same place same day of the Council Committee meeting in Fukuoka Recent Hotel. Fukuoka
Section officers headed by Chair Hiromasa Ikuno and its staff totaling 5 besides the Council
Committee members attended the meeting which was presided by Secretary Miyazaki of the Section.
Activities of Fukuoka Section with some details were first introduced. Fukuoka Section is
actively promoting new formation of Section Chapters. One of the discussed topics was relation
between Japan Chapter and Section Chapter. It was pointed out that relation of IEEE organizational
units of Council and Section seemed not to be correctly recognized by Japan Chapter chairs, which
sometimes caused conflicts between Section and Council chapters preventing smooth operation of
Chapter activities. To solve the problem, necessity of publicizing right cognition of
Japan Chapter’s role and Section Chapter’s role was discussed. Also, suggestion was made
that the Japan Council should take some action to clarify the relationship between the two
different organizational units.
Another topic was on Student awards sponsored by each Section. Fukuoka Section’s student
activities and Section sponsored student award were introduced, which were highly evaluated by
other Sections, and information on various young awards sponsored by Sections or Chapters were
exchanged. The discussions at the meeting were very informative to each Section’s representative.
At the party after the meeting, all the attendees enjoyed talking and exchanging views

Report of IEEE Region 10 Student Congress 2004
Region 10 Student Congress 2004 was held on July 16 through July 18 at Hong Kong University. Representing the student branches of Hokkaido Univ., Tohoku Univ., University of Tokyo, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Keio Univ. Osaka Univ., Kyoto Univ., Ritsumeikan Univ., Kagawa Univ. and Kumamoto Univ. participation from Japan counted 12.
The following are the comments obtained from attendees:
The attendees had no alternative but to stay all the daytime at their accommodations, because Hong Kong was hit by a typhoon on July 16, the first day of the Congress . But, in the evening, presentation of each Student Branch was conducted in group.
It was meaningful to know a variety of Branch activities different from the ones in Japan, such as tennis tournament, barbecue party hosted by Student Branch. To successfully take up such kind of activities in Japan, it is necessary to promote publicity of IEEE organization and its activities. There are some Sections which have student branch representatives in its Executive Committee. If the introduction of student ExCom member could be realized here, there would be many merits in developing inter-communication among student branches and also in pursuing IEEE objectives with more extensive points of views.
Through the social events of the Congress and the friendly atmosphere, it was enjoyable and fruitful experience exchanging information with people of difference countries in Asia.
The experience would reflect in further development of student branch activities in Japan.
