This noteworthy gathering served as a Satellite Meeting in conjunction with the esteemed 10th International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM 2023 Tokyo).

Organized collaboratively by the Graduate Program of Mathematics for Innovation, the Center for Promotion of International Education and Research at Kyushu University, and the Vietnam National University of Agriculture, WIS 2023 drew widespread participation and delivered impactful outcomes.

The workshop showcased an illustrious roster of 18 keynote and invited speakers who enriched the sessions with their insights and expertise. Complementing these talks were 18 poster presenters who contributed to the academic richness of the event. The poster session, held on the afternoon of September 15th, provided an interactive platform for students from the Joint Graduate School of Mathematics for Innovation, the Graduate School of Bioresource and Bioenvironmental Sciences, and the School of Agriculture. It enabled them to engage with researchers from diverse universities, both in Japan and abroad.

The workshop attracted 167 enthusiastic participants, comprising 70 attendees present on-site from eight countries, including Japan, Australia, India, the Philippines, Denmark, and Vietnam. Additionally, 97 online participants joined the event from various locations, such as Japan, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Australia, the Philippines, and Vietnam.
