3 – 5 October, 2018
Yokohama, JapanSCOPEThe 10th International Workshop on Combinatorial Materials Science andTechnology (COMBI2018) will be held at the Mielparque Yokohama Hotel inJapan from 3rd October 2018 to 5th October, 2018.
The past 17 years, to encourage the high throughput experimentation, wehave been organizing the series of the Workshop on Combinatorial Materials
Science and Technology from 2000. The 1st Japan-US Workshop onCombinatorial Materials Science and Technology was held at Maui island inHawaii in2000. After this workshop, the succeeding Workshops were held in
US, Europe Japan and Australia every two years. In Japan, 3rd Japan-US
and 6th International workshop were held at Naha in Okinawa in 2004 andRusutsu in Hokkaido in 2008. The main topics were high-throughput
apparatus for materials preparation, evaluation and the functional materials
exploration. Recently, other topics such as functional materials prediction
using DFT calculation, first principle calculation and materials informatics
were involved. Especially the materials informatics became one of the hot
topics, stimulated by the Materials Genome Initiative started in 2011 in US.
We will organize the workshop to encourage the discussion about the topics
with researchers who have different research background in field of various
kinds of functional materials exploration by using high-throughput technology,
chemical calculation, and materials informatics.
We welcome participants from many countries, and provide opportunity forattendees to touch the cutting edge results, knowledge and seeds for thefuture to deepen their understanding. We sincerely hope you will attend
COMBI2018.
The official language of this conference is English.
We look forward to seeing you in Yokohama, one of the exiting city where thehistory, culture and modern technology are fused.
