JWRI plans to carry out various commemorative projects to celebrate its 50th anniversary and to welcome the next
brilliant 50 years. For the purpose of promoting these projects, we have launched the “50th Anniversary Fund of Joiningand Welding Research Institute,” and we sincerely ask for your generous support. Your contribution would be highlyappreciated.
To meet the increased demand for “joining” in industry, and because of the diversification required by the trend towards
globalization in manufacturing and in response to scientific and technological progress, JWRI has energetically promoted
both fundamental and applied research from its establishment. It has since become the only institute in Japan, and also theworld’s leading institute, in the field of welding and joining.
JWRI will perform the research relevant to the demands of society in the 21st century and also to the vision of a
successful global society in the 22nd century. Our staff will make continuous efforts to achieve the present and futuretargets. Our JWRI will play an important role in contributing to the sustainable growth of society through technologicalinnovation in welding and joining.
We hope that you will join us as we move forward into the next 50 years.
