NIMS WEEK Academic Symposium
International symposium for the promotion of materials science research
* The event was held until 2022.
Since 2003, NIMS had organized the NIMS Conference, an international conference to discuss and promote materials science research. Since 2016, a week in October has been designated as "NIMS WEEK" and various events are intensively held during this week.
At "NIMS WEEK Academic Symposium", there were NIMS Award Ceremony, Winning-lecture, lectures by world-top researchers who made innovative achievements in the field of Materials Science, and poster presentations by young scientists under the theme of the year.
NIMS Award
NIMS Award is a prize presented by NIMS to a person or a group who has made distinguished achievements in research and development in the field of materials science and technology in recent years and the ceremony is held during the conference. From 2011, contributions to a development of NIMS previously or in the near future was included in the criteria for the selection.
The nominees are selected by the nomination working group consisted of external intellectuals and NIMS researchers in the related research fields. The final candidates are elected by the NIMS Award Committee members including external intellectuals, and the final decision is made after NIMS President’s approval at the end.
NIMS Conference (2003-2015)
This was the biggest international conference organized by NIMS since 2003. We invited world’s top level researchers and discussed a variety of issues and problems based on the latest research results from the perspective of materials research and nano-technology.
NIMS Award Ceremony and Award Winning-lecture were being held during the 1st day of the conference every year.
