Greetings from the President

On October 1st, 2016, the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) made a new start as a designated national research and development institute. Japan has traditionally 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.

NIMS WEEK is an annual event hosted by NIMS consisting of an Academic Symposium and a Showcase. The participants can encounter “cutting edge materials research” through a variety of activities, such as the NIMS Award symposium to honor the award recipients and the exhibitions of the latest materials research at the NIMS Showcase. Due to the COVID-19 situations, NIMS WEEK 2020 will be held online in November 2020. This is our first ever attempt, however, a variety of sessions to introduce our activities will also be available as always.

Through this NIMS WEEK, I would like you to see the front line of evolving materials research.

Kazuhito Hashimoto
President
National Institute for Materials Science(NIMS)
