本日視訊會議告一段落後，黃晉英秘書長提示與會人員，面對氣候異變加劇，除新冠肺炎外，各種新興疫病亦不斷威脅人類社會。因此以視訊方式召開會議，將成為未來國際會議主要型態。這樣的發展趨勢和本會不斷強調未來人類必將走向共生文明相契合，所以特別邀請各位參與會議，共同體驗共生文明的未來。
Towards the end of today’s video conference, Secretary General Huang Chin-ying pointed out to the participants that in the face of intensifying climate change, other than COVID-19, human society is also under the constant threat of various emerging diseases. Therefore, conferences convened through video conferencing will become the main form of international conferences in the future.

本日視訊會議告一段落後，黃晉英秘書長表示，數位化方式召開會議，對於台灣而言是極為重要的契機，因為我們有台灣之光－台積電，再加上本會的共生理念，勢必能為台灣建構更為優勢的發展條件，進而引領世界往共生文明邁進。黃晉英秘書長並提醒與會人員，參與國際會議發表研究報告時，除應熟悉原本的專業知識，更應多涉獵其他領域的知識與重要觀點，才能和各領域的專家學者溝通、交流。此外，開場與結論亦可適時加入言簡意賅的論點，吸引聽眾的注意，才能將理念傳遞出去。
As the video conference on the day came to an end, Secretary General Huang Chin-ying said that convening meetings by digital means are an important opportunity for Taiwan. This is because Taiwan’s Pride TSMC, combined with ARF’s concept of symbiosis, are bound to lead to the creation of more favorable development conditions for Taiwan, which will in turn lead the world towards symbiotic civilization. Secretary General Huang Chin-ying also reminded the participants that when presenting research reports during international conferences, in addition to familiarizing themselves with existing professional knowledge, knowledge and important viewpoints from other fields should also be studied seriously in order to communicate and exchange ideas with experts and scholars from various fields. In addition, concise arguments may also be added to the opening address and conclusion to attract the audience’s attention and convey the concepts.

本日視訊會議告一段落後，黃晉英秘書長表示，共生文明涵蓋共生化與數位化，共生化是本會的強項；而數位化則相對較為薄弱。但是，從連續三天召開國際會議的過程中，無論會前的聯繫、會中的場地安排、視訊連線、畫面切割等，都顯示出本會已具備相當程度的數位化能力，希望各位能提供與會心得，做為本會後續精進之依據。隨後，與會人員分別就整體會議流程安排、視訊系統規劃、提升國際通用語言能力、研究方向應加強與聯合國永續發展目標連結等，提出個人意見及與會心得。
As the video conference on the day came to an end, Secretary General Huang Chin-ying said that symbiotic civilization covers symbiosis and digitalization. Symbiosis is the ARF’ strong suit, while digitalization remains relatively weaker. However, throughout the international conference held for three consecutive days, whether contacts before the conference, venue arrangement, video connection, screen cutting, etc, indicate the ARF’s considerable degree of digitalization capabilities. It is hoped that everyone will provide participation feedback on their conference participation, which shall serve as a reference for ARF’s subsequent improvement. The participants later proposed their personal opinions and conference participation feedback in terms of overall conference process arrangement, video system planning, enhancement of international universal language proficiency, research directions to be strengthened, links to the UN’s sustainable development goals, etc.
會議結束前，黃晉英秘書長特別提醒與會人員，發表演講應注意整體流暢度，尤其要避免無謂的語助詞並善用圖片，減少繁雜文字敘述，才能引導聽講者進入主題。此外，參與國際會議，最重要的就是具備相當程度的語言能力，才能清晰表達研究論點，並與國際專家學者做更深入的交流。最後，黃晉英秘書長再次感謝與會人員的參與，並邀請與會人員合影留念，為BEYOND 2020會議劃下完美的句點。
Before the conference ended, Secretary General Huang Chin-ying specially reminded the participants to note their overall fluency during speeches, especially useless auxiliary words that should be avoided, putting illustrations to good use, and reducing complex text narratives in order to guide the audience to grasp the topic. Additionally, the most important part of participating in international conferences is considerable language proficiency in order to clearly express research arguments and engage in more in-depth exchanges with international experts and scholars. Finally, Secretary General Huang Chin-ying thanked the participants for their involvement and invited them to take group photographs for remembrance. The BEYOND 2020 Conference came to a perfect close.
面對外在環境的劇烈變化，更讓我們深刻體會到共生文明建構之必要。值此關鍵時刻，本會期許祐生成員能不斷提升自我能力，為社會做出貢獻；積極參與國際會議，推動共生文明理念，共同為台灣、人類族群奠定永續發展的基石。
In the face of drastic changes in external environment, we have more profoundly come to realize the essentiality of symbiotic civilization construction. At such a crucial time, the ARF hopes its members will continue to improve their self-competency to contribute to society, actively take part in international conferences to promote the concept of symbiotic civilization, thereby laying the cornerstone of sustainable development for Taiwan and the human race.
