INTRODUCTION
The Institute of Materials and Systems for Sustainability, IMaSS, is the largest research institute in Nagoya University, comprising the Center for Integrated Research of Future Electronics directed by Prof. Amano, a recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics, the Advanced Measurement Technology Center with the world leading 1,000 kV Reaction Science High Voltage Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope, the Division of Materials Research, the Division of Systems Research, Funded Research Divisions, and Industry-Academia Collaborative Chairs. Since its establishment as EcoTopia Science Institute in 2004, the institute has been conducting studies on materials and systems to realize the sustainable development of a prosperous and environment-compatible society amidst global-scale environmental and resource-related challenges.
The institute has been designated as a Joint Usage/Research Center by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). Through joint usage and research related to energy management technologies, it serves as a venue for everything from fundamental research through to system-building for actual deployment in society. The institute also supports national and international joint research activities through its research collaboration agreements with research institutes, industries and governments all over the world.
In order to provide an opportunity for exchanging new research results and for networking of engineers and researchers working for a sustainable society, IMaSS will organize the International Conference on Materials and Systems for Sustainability 2019 (ICMaSS2019) over three days from November 1st to 3rd, 2019. This conference, formerly named the International Symposium on EcoTopia Sciences, was first held in 2005 and since then continuously every two years.
Since the importance of the research for a sustainable society is ever increasing, the organizers hope that ICMaSS2019 will have many research presentations and participants, stimulate active discussions and networking. We invite all of you to share and exchange the latest products of your research in your specialist area. In particular, the active participation of young researchers is essential for a long-term solution to create a society in harmony with our global environment. We therefore hope that this conference will contribute to the development of younger generation human resources.
We appreciate your kind and generous support as well as your encouragement.
