Young researchers interacting in poster session |
On 15 June, the JSPS Stockholm Office held a Sweden-Japan colloquium at Linköping University (LiU). It was focused on the theme “nanotechnology.” Leading its planning were Prof. Per-Olof Holtz, LiU, and Prof. Takashi Fuyuki, Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST). Its implementation was supported by the 174th Committee on Molecular Nanotechnology, one of the JSPS University-Industry Cooperative Research Committees.
Over recent years, advances have been made in the development of many new materials created by fine-tuning their nanometer-order controlled structures and compositions. Such advances are at the core of nano-technological research progress. At the colloquium, researchers from Sweden and Japan reported and discussed a range of research initiatives aimed at applying these advanced technologies to the development of functional devices that can be used to enrich society and protect the environment.
The event also featured a poster session by postdoctoral researchers and doctoral students, giving young researchers from the two countries an ideal platform to engage in a lively exchange of views and information.
Attended by some 65 researchers and students from Sweden and Japan, the colloquium provided a powerful catalyst for strengthened exchange between LiU and NAIST, and the wider research communities of the two countries.
