Important Deadlines
1st September: Proceeding Submission (on publisher's web site)
Scope of the Seminar
Kibune River, Kyoto City
The seminar is intended to provide a forum for the exchange of
information and expertise as well as presentation of recent
developments in nanostructural analysis techniques and their
applications for functional materials and devices, achieved
during the last 10 years and particularly over the last two years.
Especially, electron microscopy is one of powerful tools to
investigate the structure, chemical composition and electronic
state of nanomaterials at atomic scale. The scope of the
seminar will focus on the micro- and nano-analysis by
electron microscopy and its related techniques.
In this seminar, we will present the current status of our
research on micro and nano analysis and discuss the future
direction of this research field.
The event will also provide an opportunity for scientists to
establish valuable contacts, develop international
collaborations and improve their international cooperative
projects.
Background and Organisation
In 1995, Prof. M. Shiojiri, Kyoto Institute of Technology (KIT)
and Prof. J. Kątcki, Institute of Electron Technology (ITE)
initiated a joint project, which was authorised by the agreements
of the Committee on Co-operation of Science and Technology
between the Polish and Japanese Governments.
In September 1997, Polish-Japanese (Pol-Jpn) Joint Seminar on
Materials Analysis was held at ITE as one of the activities
related to the project. The Seminar was co-organized by Profs.
Shiojiri and Kątcki, and attracted 30 participants with 21
presentations.
Byodoin Temple, Uji City
The 2nd Jpn-Pol Joint Seminar was held in KIT in December 1998,
joined with the International Symposium 'Hybrid Analyses for
Functional Nanostructure'. The symposium was organized by Prof.
Shiojiri and had about 200 participants, with 36 invited lectures
and 48 poster presentation.
Since the Japanese partner of the joint project was succeeded by
Prof. T. Okabe, Toyama University (TU), the 3rd Pol-Jpn Joint
Seminar held in Krakow-Zakopane in July 2000 was co-organized by
Prof. Okabe and Prof. J. Dutkiewicz (Institute of Metallurgy and
Materials Science). It attracted 20 Polish, 24 Japanese, 3 Swiss
and 1 Czech Republic participants. All the participants agreed
to have the next Seminar in the coming two years to keep up
with the recent rapid progress and steady advances of the
materials analysis techniques.
The 4th Jpn-Pol Joint Seminar, organized by the co-chairs of
Prof. Okabe: Prof. S. Ikeno (TU) and Prof. Dutkiewicz, took place
at Toyama-Tateyama in 2002.
The 5th Pol-Jpn symposium on advanced methods of materials
characterization was held in
Krakow-Niedzica in 2004, organized by the co-chairs of Prof.
Dutkiewicz: Prof. A. Czyrska-Filemonowicz, (AGH University of
Science and Technology) and Prof. K. Matsuda (TU).
The 6th Jpn-Pol Joint Seminar on Materials Analysis was
organized by the co-chairs: Prof. Ikeno and Prof. Dutkiewicz
and took place, again, in Toyama-Tateyama. The 7th and 10-year
commemorative Pol-Jpn Seminar, devoted to the overall discussion
of the developments in nano-structural analysis techniques
and their applications for functional materials and devices,
was organized by co-chairs: Prof. Kątcki (ITE) and Prof.
Ikeno (TU) and took place in The Institute of Electron
Technology in 2008. The coming 8th Jpn-Pol Joint Seminar will
be hosted by The Institute for Chemical Research, Kyoto University.
