In the open ceremony, the Vice-Chancellor of Universidad de Guanajuato, Mexico (UG) has introduced the participants from different countries which including Japan, France, Belgium, Spain, Columbia, Taiwan, Canada, and United State of America. Ming Chi University of Technology is the only one participant came from Taiwan. Thus, MCUT has been drawn much attention in this expo. 

Prof. Liang joined two conference lectures on 20th September.  One of the conference lecture titles is “Industry 4.0”. The moderator of the conference lecture is Prof. Martin Nunez from UG and the participants are from Prof. Kita, Principal of Ibaraki National College of Technology, Japan, Prof. Alain Vande Wouver, University of Mons, Belgium, and Prof. Elias Ledesma Orozco from UG. The conference lecture mainly discussed on the impact of “Industry 4.0” around the world and emphasize the effect of higher education on our talented next generation. Prof. Kita from Japan first pointed out that robots will replace human in heavy industries. Thus, new business models and patterns will be looked for and developed. Beside this, Prof. Alain Vande Wouver has pointed out that there were many manufacturing factories in Belgium for past few years, and now they are all out of the country. The manpower for manufacturing industry needs to be relocated for other uses. Therefore, Belgium government encourages small and medium-sized enterprises to develop new products in the biotechnology industry and other industries.

Then, Prof. Elias Ledesma Orozco focused on the education issues and emphasized on the network technology in e-learning. Another conference lecture titled “Wall-less collaboration, A new era of US-Mexico Relations in Higher Education” was held in the afternoon on the same day.

On 19^th September, the organizer specially arranged Prof. Liang and Dr. Hsieh to visit the Dean of College of Natural Science and the head of departments in UG. According to the explanation from the staff of UG International Office, UG has close collaboration with many countries around the world, which included the United States of America, France, Canada, Brazil, Spain, and Japan. In Asia region, Mexico has the closest relations with Japan. Japan has many universities have student exchange program with UG.
