In 1998, our graduate school (*1, hereafter IGSES) proposed to the Pusan National University (PNU) and the Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) that a forum for students to interact with one another by \u201cpresenting research that integrates materials, energy and the environment in English\u201d be established. The two schools, PNU and POSTECH, were chosen because of their long- standing relationship (*2) with IGSES and relative proximity to Fukuoka. As IGSES bases its research and education on the three pillars of \u201cMaterials, Energy and Environment\u201d, establishing the forum was the incarnation of its ethos of \u201cProfound, Broad and Integrated\u201d. The first Cross Straits Symposium on Materials, Energy and Environmental Sciences (CSS), so named to convey our desire to deepen friendship across the straits between Kyushu \/ Tsushima and Tsushima \/ South Korea, was held in November 1999, at the Chikushi Campus under the sponsorship of IGSES. The subsequent symposiums were organized and held by each of respective schools on a rotation basis. In 2013, the symposium series evolved into the Cross Straits Symposium on Energy and Environmental Science and Technology (CSS-EEST) with participation from three countries, IGSES (Japan), PNU (Korea), and SJTU (Shanghai Jiao Tong University, PRC) (*3). In 2022, UTM (Universiti Teknologi Malaysia) joined the program as a new participant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
