Misunderstanding often occurs in multidisciplinary field of study, because each field has its own background of thinking.  Communication training is important for students, who have a potential to develop multidisciplinary field of study.  Because each nation has its own cultural background, communication in an international seminar is not easy, either.  A cross-cultural student seminar has been designed for communication training in multidisciplinary field of study.  Students from variety of back ground have joined in the seminar.  Equations and figures are effective tools for communication in the field of science. 
The seminar works well for communication training in the multidisciplinary field of study of biomedical engineering.  The presentation refers to author’s several experiences: the student internship abroad, the cross cultural student camp, various PhD theses, various affiliations, and creating the interdisciplinary department.
