The International Student Research Forum 2014 was held on Sunday, June 1st - Thursday, June 5th 2014. It was hosted by The University of Southern Denmark, in Odense, which isknown as the birthplace of the fairy tale author, Hans Chsristian Andersen. This forum is hosted in turn by the 6 core university members from Japan, China, the USA, England, Russia and Denmark. The operation and procedures are all carried out by graduate students. This forum seeks to stimulate graduate student research and training by giving students a chance to present and discuss their research in a group of elite international peers, with the scientific sessions chaired by the students themselves.

5 graduate students participated from IMSUT this year. They not only made oral presentations about their research results, but were provided with time to discuss their poster presentations. Conducted tours to Egeskov Castle and the HCA Museum were also included in the schedule, and the students had a great opportunity to see the cultural aspects of Denmark. All students returned home safely. A participating student said, "The presentations from each country were very unique, and we did not just learn about the theory or ways for research and presentation, but learnt how to ask questions in English. We managed to exchange information with students from other countries about many issues we had in common and I feel this experience was very worthwhile." The participants from the 6 nations did not just make exchange about their research, but also made cultural exchange, and all the participants greatly enjoyed their stay in Denmark.

The University of Aberdeen, from Scotland, has newly joined as a core member from this year, and is planned to host the forum in 2015, for the 11th International Student Research Forum.
