INVITATION
Dear Colleagues,

Symposium will be held at Kogakuin University (Tokyo Urban Tech), from October 31 toNovember 3, 2014. The International Advisory and Organizing Committee cordially invite
you to attend the Symposium and participate in its scientific and social programs. The
main theme of the Symposium will be “New frontiers in Advanced Engineering –Innovative Applications of Coordination Compounds and Their Related Sciences”. The
Symposium will focus on the innovative applications of coordination compounds tointerdisciplinary fields, including chemistry, biology, materials science, and applied
physics.
As with previous SPACC Symposia, it is intended that this Symposium will provide aplatform for young scientists to exchange scientific information among themselves andwith the selected leading scientists. This challenging symposium began in Tokyo just 20years ago by the SPACC fellow Prof. Yano, and has being held annually and consecutively
in the world. It is our great pleasure to hold this 21st Symposium in the first venue.
Presentations will consist of three categories, several invited lectures, oral presentations,and poster presentations. Prizes will be awarded for the best presentations, especially forstudents. The International Advisory and Organizing Committee hope all registrants will
