Hello. I'm Vinaya. Majji from India. I had the privilege of participating in the Sakura Science Exchange Program(SSP-2023), an immersive experience that provided deep insights into cutting-edge research and global scientific collaboration. This program allowed me to interact with researchers, learn about advanced scientific techniques, and gain insights into a different academic culture. It was also a great chance to experience international collaboration and understand how research is approached in a global setting.

Beyond the academic experience, this program also offered an immersive introduction to Japanese culture. From experiencing the discipline and precision ingrained in their research practices to exploring the country’s traditions, cuisine, and way of life, every moment was a learning experience.
