This year's NIMS Award targeted basic research in the field of structural materials that has led to profound benefit for society and industry and created impactful results that have changed the world. Prof. Dierk Raabe's "Pioneering research on the sustainability and microstructure-based design of advanced metallic alloys" was selected to receive the NIMS Award 2023 as an outstanding global achievement.

The NIMS Award Ceremony and Commemorative Lecture will be held on Monday, November 6th at the Tsukuba International Congress Center as part of the "NIMS Award Symposium 2023".

NIMS Award

Since 2007, NIMS has been awarding the NIMS Award, an international award, to researchers who have made outstanding scientific and engineering achievements related to materials science and technology. As award topics in each year, NIMS has divided the related materials science topics in which it is particularly focused, along four major fields, and the NIMS Award is presented each year in the order of the fields listed below. This year's NIMS Award targeted basic research in the field of structural materials that has led to profound benefit for society and industry and created impactful results that have changed the world. For selection of laureates, the top material scientists from around the world were asked to nominate candidates, and a committee of neutral experts conducted a strict selection process. 

NIMS Award Symposium

NIMS has been holding NIMS WEEK, a largest event organized by NIMS, once a year, and the NIMS Award Symposium was an academic event during this NIMS WEEK. Although the COVID-19 pandemic forced us to hold the symposium online, we held it in person at Tokyo International Forum for two days from November 14 to 15 last year. This year, the NIMS Award Symposium will be held at the Tsukuba International Congress Center in Tsukuba City. The NIMS Award ceremony, commemorative lectures, invited lectures and presentations by NIMS researchers will be held. In addition, there will be poster presentations by NIMS researchers and graduate students studying materials science at the venue of NIMS Award Symposium. 

For details, please refer to the NIMS Award Symposium 2023 official website, which will be published at a later date.
