Not only getting attention from worldwide scholars, on the other hand, the 2023 ICPC&FHN also received positive responses from 21 top institutes in Thailand, the U.S.A, Japan, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, and the Philippines to co-host this event. The conference also became a platform for sharing new scientific contributions from nearly 100 research presentations, six papers published in the proceeding, and ten manuscripts in SCOPUS. Distinguished keynote speakers from the U.S.A., Taiwan, China, Sweden, South Korea, and Thailand shared their intensive experience through plenary, symposium, and discussion sessions during the two days of the conference.
