5 - 7 September 2019
at Nara Kasugano International Forum

In 2019, the Japan Research Association for Textile End-Uses will celebrate its 60th anniversary. To
commemorate this special occasion, we will hold the Comfort and Smart Textile International Symposium on
September 6th and 7th with the cooperation of related academic societies and associations.
The fourth industrial revolution is upon us, as keywords like AI, robots, IoT, and the cloud herald the rapidadvancement of digitalization. The textile industry is also actively developing smart textiles worldwide due todramatic advances in ICT (information and communication technology). This is expected to lead todevelopments across many fields, including healthcare and sports, with innovations in nursing andrehabilitation. Amidst these revolutionary changes, we have called on those who are active in fields related tosmart textiles and designed this symposium as an occasion for broad, global exchange with the aim of clarifying
the challenges that lie ahead in the next decade, as well as furthering developments in the field.
We are deeply grateful for your cooperation and understanding the 60th anniversary of this society, and we arelooking forward to your active participation for the Comfort and Smart Textile International Symposium.
