THANK YOU!
NIMS WEEK is an annual event that introduces the latest academic achievements of NIMS and the newest technologies expected to be of practical use.
This year, experience NIMS’s “now” with the following four programs.
The highlights this year are the NIMS Award Winning Lectures by researchers leading data-driven material development, the innovative research exhibition, and individual consultations connecting companies and researchers. In addition, “NIMS Open House” will make available over 80 laboratories and facilities.
As a new project, we will introduce the latest trend in materials prediction research using open data as the STAM 20th anniversary, an open access journal for materials science.
Don’t miss the chance to see this big event and the evolution of world-changing materials.
Day1
10/
28
Monday
Front-line researchers will talk about the attraction of materials and technologies in the field where innovative materials are created.
A day of opening research facilities that will be a stepping stone for joint research and open innovation. We will have a guided lab tour for companies and public lectures such as an introduction to materials research.
Day2

Wednesday
NIMS Award is an international award which is given to a world-class researcher who did innovative research and accomplished excellent results in Material Science.
The day will have an Award Ceremony and Award Winning Lecture, several lectures under the theme of magnetic materials and poster presentations by a young scientist.
Day3

Thursday
Through our 80 posters and presentations, you can check our latest material research achievements. Discussions with NIMS researchers are welcome. Come and find seeds of research collaboration at this Showcase.
NOTE: Lectures and poster sessions are in Japanese only (except for the presentation from L’OREAL.)
Day4

Friday
The symposium commemorates the 20th anniversary of STAM, an open access journal for materials science. The editors will describe STAM’s approach towards creating a data-driven journal and global trends in materials development using open data.
On October 1st, 2016, the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) made a new start as a designated national research and development institute, and is now in its fourth year. Japan has traditionally has taken a leading position in the field of materials science and nanotechnology in the world. As a core institute, leading an innovation national system in this field, NIMS is expected to contribute to strengthen Japan’s industrial competitiveness, including human resource development, aiming at the realization of Society 5.0 (Super Smart Society), listed in the 5th Science and Technology Basic Plan.
This year, the fifth week of October is called “NIMS WEEK”. On the first day, we open our research facilities at once at NIMS, Tsukuba, and many programs such as lab tours and lectures for companies and university students are planned. During the next two days, NIMS Award Ceremony, Academic Symposium on the theme of “Data-Driven Materials Development”, and a Showcase to present the latest research results of NIMS will be held at Tokyo International Forum. Additionally, this year we will hold a Symposium to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the launch of Science and Technology of Advanced Materials (STAM), an open access journal for materials science co-published by NIMS.
Through this NIMS WEEK, I would like you to see the front line of evolving materials research.
