Japan’s WPI has come to E-MRS again.
The World Premier International Research Center Initiative (WPI) was launched by the Japanese government to create globally visible and internationally open research centers in Japan. While assembling groups of world-class researchers and advancing their research initiatives, WPI centers also
train talented researchers for an active role in the global scientific community. The following four WPI centers are engaged in materials-related
research and jointly attending this E-MRS Spring Meeting:
Advanced Institute for Materials Research (AIMR), Tohoku University
International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (MANA), National Institute for Materials Science
Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS), Kyoto University
International Institute for Carbon-Neutral Energy Research (I2CNER), Kyushu University
This time, we organize some events with the editorial board of Science and Technology of Advanced Materials (STAM).
We look forward to your participation!
