Through the J-PEAKS project, NUT will continue to create such opportunities for international exchange, foster the development of young researchers, and steadily strengthen the university\u2019s overall research capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column
