Message from Chair
Just nine months remain until the World Engineering Conference and Convention (WECC2015) in Kyoto. Preparations areproceeding with eager anticipation, the conference program is almost complete, and the programs for technical visits andaccompanying persons are nearly finalized. Tentative bookings have been made at several categories of hotel, ensuringthat plenty of rooms will be available to meet the needs of a wide range of participants. In this message I would like toprovide a broad outline of these preparations.
The conference program will comprise the opening ceremony, conference plenary lectures, technical program, summaryand concluding remarks of the technical sessions, and the closing ceremony.
Seven conference plenary lectures are planned. UNESCO will discuss engineering and society, the International Energy
Agency will address global energy issues, and the United Nations will speak about global water issues. A representativeof the Japanese business community will provide insights on engineering and the automotive industry, the Ministry ofLand, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism will talk about building national resilience, and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will discuss
economic policy and innovation. In our final plenary lecture, Professor Hiroshi Amano of Nagoya University, joint recipient of the Nobel Prize inPhysics for 2014, will speak on LED lighting and environmental issues.
In the technical program, renowned experts from numerous fields will provide overviews of the current state and future direction of various areas ofengineering that will play key roles in achieving sustainable development for our societies. Sessions will also be structured to allow for discussion withthe audience. To make such debate even more effective, we will stage a poster session open to all contributors. We hope that integration of these
program elements will spark in-depth discussion about the future of various fields.
The afternoon of December 2, the final day of the conference, will feature a summary and concluding remarks of the sessions in the technicalprogram, accompanied by further discussion. This debate will clarify future direction for various fields of engineering, and a Kyoto Declaration
summarizing the outcomes will be issued at the closing ceremony.
Culture plays a major part in cultivating the development of engineering. To supplement the technical program, the WECC2015 technical visits andaccompanying persons’ program will provide opportunities to learn more about engineering in the Kyoto region and the culture that has supported
it. Kyoto and its environs are home to many world-famous companies rich in creativity, and the local culture has had a large impact on theirdevelopment. Visits to such companies will give participants a greater understanding of the interplay among engineering, industry, and culture.
Another original feature of the conference will be the Kyoto sessions on the afternoon of November 29. These will introduce unique aspects of Kyoto
culture, including Japanese cuisine, which has been recognized by UNESCO as part of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity. Don’t miss thisopportunity to learn more about the distinctive culture of the region.
The conference period from November 29 to December 2 falls in one of Kyoto’s most beautiful seasons. Autumn hues tinge the region’s many trees
in red and yellow, creating a stunning backdrop for viewing its natural features, historic places and temples. This wonderful season is the perfect time
to visit Kyoto. Since hotels are very busy at this time of year, we are fortunate to have secured plenty of rooms to meet your accommodation needs.
We recommend that you make your reservations as early as possible.
The Organizing Committee is making every effort to ensure that WECC2015 is a success. We look forward to welcoming you to Kyoto in thissplendid season for stimulating discussion at WECC2015.
