In addition to strengthening collaboration on JUMP 2025, the visit also aimed to conduct external interviews for nine student candidates, consisting of seven students from the Faculty of Computer Science and two students from the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. Successful candidates will have the opportunity to join an internship program at JAIST from January to March 2026 or pursue postgraduate studies at JAIST.

On the second day, the visit continued with a Short Lecture session featuring two insightful topics. Prof. Hasegawa delivered a lecture entitled “AI in Education within the Learning 5.0 Paradigm”, while Prof. Kurisawa presented “Recent advances and latest research findings on the design of biomaterial-based drug delivery systems (DDS) and regenerative medicine approaches for the treatment of inguinal diseases.” The session took place on Tuesday (September 23rd, 2025) at Dr. Jaidan Jauhari Auditorium, Training Center Building, Faculty of Computer Science, Palembang.
