Hirosaki University has held six joint research seminars with KIRAMS, and this year’s seminar was held with of ficials from CGMH, the main institution in Taiwan for radiation emergency medicine. The most recent three years were online-only due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but this year the meeting was held face-to-face, with six participants from KIRAMS and three officials from CGMH. It was the first time in three years that we were able to hold a face-toface seminar, and the two-day event reaffirmed the importance of mutual collaboration and gave us hope that we can further expand the scope of our cooperation. This report introduces an overview of the joint seminar as well as presentations on the main themes of each of the organizations.
