gPBL (Global PBL) 2024 was held at Phenikaa University, Vietnam. This program involved 4 different Vietnamese universities: Hanoi University of Science & Technology (HUST), Phenikaa University, FPT University, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh city (UEH); In this program, SIT participants are students from IGP and other departments, and graduate school. Students were divided into 10 groups which were assigned randomly a topic (e.g., education, agricultural, etc.). In each group, the students brainstormed, found technical problems in existing research, and discuss the solutions to overcome the difficulties. Based on the solutions, they proposed systems and developed them. Finally, they presented their achievements and demonstrated the developed systems to show the feasibilities.
As a whole, even though we faced with various difficulties caused by nature disasters (typhoon, flood, etc.), this gPBL was successful, and the participants achieved their goals as well as brushing up their English communication skills. Students from both sides have positive feedbacks. They are all happy and wish that the program will continue next year.

- ホーチミン市経済大学（UEH）
芝浦工業大学（SIT）からは、IGP（Innovative Global Program）および他学科、大学院の学生が参加しました。学生は10グループに分けられ、各グループに教育や農業などのテーマがランダムに割り当てられました。各グループでは、以下の活動を行いました。
- ブレインストーミングによるアイデア出し
- 既存研究における技術的課題の発見
- 課題解決に向けた議論
その後、解決策に基づいてシステムを提案し、開発を進めました。
プログラムの最終日には、各グループが成果を発表し、開発したシステムのデモンストレーションを行い、実現可能性を示しました。その後、解決策に基づいてシステムを提案し、開発を進めました。
