The 3rd CIBoG Retreat (The 14th NAGOYA Global Retreat) was held online on Saturday, February 19, 2022. Although this retreat was suddenly changed to completely online via Zoom due to the rapid increase in the number of people infected with Covid-19 caused by the Omicron strain, it was a great success with 170 participants.

Dr. Kazuyo Moro (Osaka University) was invited as a special lecturer and gave a wonderful lecture. In the questionnaire after the retreat, some of the participants answered as follows that, "Dr. Moro's presentation was interesting, easy to understand and engaging even for students outside of our field", "I was encouraged not only by the content of her research but also by her attitude toward research and her experiences, which motivated me to do research", and "I would like to hear more lectures by cutting-edge researchers like these in the future".

The lectures by Dr. Moro and many other presenters were very informative and stimulating for students, researchers, and faculty in the Tokai area.
