Kyoto International Conference Center
August 10-15, 2014, Kyoto, Japan
http://www.ihtc-15.org/index.html info@ihtc-15.org Organized by The Heat Transfer Society of Japan Science Council of Japan Under the auspices of The Assembly for International Heat Transfer Conferences (AIHTC) Supported by International Centre for Heat and Mass Transfer The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers The Society of Chemical Engineers, Japan
Thermal Science
Meeting Societal Challenges
We invite forward-looking scientists, engineers, and researchers from all over the world to attend the Fifteenth International Heat Transfer Conference (IHTC-15). In addition to exploring the frontier of traditional research areas, we ask an important question: how can we better serve society when facing major difficult issues such as sustainable development, healthy ageing, sufficient food for all, and economic growth? The primary answer is that we must actively develop scientific and technological solutions. To do this, we need to clarify and reshape our goals for the future, and start to formulate an interdisciplinary framework for collaboration among colleagues active across a wider range of physical, life, and information sciences. IHTC-15 will provide every participant with a unique opportunity to exchange state-of-the-art knowledge and enjoy extensive discussions throughout the conference period. We hope that IHTC-15 will magnify the scope of contributions made by the international community of thermal science and engineering professionals for the benefit and welfare of societies around the world.
Special Features of IHTC-15
●  Oral presentations only
All contributed papers are to be presented in parallel oral sessions.
●   IHTC Digital Library (IDL)
The AIHTC and Begell House have agreed to establish the IHTC Digital Library (IDL). The IDL is an online archival library featuring an interactive web interface and advanced search engine for the use of active researchers and engineers. It will preserve the past and future Proceedings  of Heat the International Transfer Conferences under the auspices of the AIHTC. Thus, all presented papers will be uploaded and included in the IDL after IHTC-15. ● Awards The following memorial awards/medals will be bestowed, and memorial lectures will be presented: The William Begell Medal The Max Jakob Memorial Award The Luikov Medal The Nukiyama Memorial Award ● Invited plenary lecture "Science of Scientific Advice" Hiroyuki Yoshikawa Research Director,   Center   for and Development Strategy, Japan Science and Technology Agency Past President of the University of Tokyo and the International Council of Science ●   Panel discussion “The Role of Thermal Science in Meeting Societal Challenges" Organizer: Nobuhide Kasagi
Kyoto
Since Kyoto was the capital of Japan for more than one thousand years, from 794 to 1868, it is the most historic and attractive city in Japan. Seventeen World Cultural Heritage Sites designated by UNESCO are Kyoto's crown jewels, inspiring visitors and residents alike.
