       JVEC turns into VDF-Tokyo!  (24Sep2004) 
    
     JVEC was established in May 2003 in Tokyo. After more than 
    one year of monthly workshops and networking with Hanoi, we are happy to 
    upgrade JVEC (informal gathering) into VDF Tokyo (research project). We hope 
    to integrate research in Japan and Vietnam even more, and strengthen our 
    financial standing. Activities will be expanded and the web has been renewed (this 
    site). VDF Tokyo will be managed directly by GRIPS, while VDF Hanoi will 
    continue to be a joint project between NEU and GRIPS. Though the budgets 
    remain separate, the two VDFs will do research together.
