Dear all,

The SBS Virtual Research Day 2021 cum Nordic Symposium was successfully held on June 16-17, 2021.  It would not be so smooth without your excellent support, and your presence has undoubtedly helped to make it a memorable occasion.  I believe all the participants have enjoyed and inspired by this one-and-a-half-day event and will forge a closer, sustained and long-term partnership.

Taking this opportunity, I would like to thank members of the organizing committee, and all the staff and students who have contributed to this event. Your dedication is highly appreciated.
