SYMPOSIUM & SEMINAR
The 8th IROAST Symposium -"X-Ray CT Visualization for Socio-Cultural Engineering & Environmental Materials, 2021"- Held on December 7 and 8, 2021
The International Research Organization for Advanced Science and Technology (IROAST), Kumamoto University, held the 8th IROAST Symposium online on December 7 and 8, 2021.
In this symposium, the most advanced research results of Kumamoto University (IROAST) using the “high-resolution nano-focused X-ray CT scanner” introduced by IROAST in FY 2020 were presented to the world, and discussions that will lead to the development of future international collaborative research were held with IROAST visiting professors and leading researchers in the fields of medicine, engineering, and science and technology from Japan and abroad.
In consideration of the time difference with experts from overseas, the two-day symposium was divided into two parts, one in the morning and the other in the evening.
A total of about 190 researchers and graduate students (including 67 non-Japanese) from France, Canada, Korea, the Czech Republic, China, New Zealand, Australia, the United States, Austria, Vietnam, Zambia, and Mauritius participated in the symposium, and a lively exchange of opinions took place.

The 8th IROAST Symposium -"X-Ray CT Visualization for Socio-Cultural Engineering & Environmental Materials, 2021"
IROAST will have the 8th IROAST Symposium entitled “X-Ray CT Visualization for Socio-Cultural Engineering & Environmental Materials, 2021”.
In this symposium, IROAST overseas visiting professor and world-leading researchers in the medical-engineering collaboration fields present their research work on-line aiming to promote the application of X-ray CT method to the engineering filed and the medical-engineering collaboration research.
This time will have participation from France, Canada, Korea, the Czech Republic and New Zealand.
Therefore the 2-day symposium has been set up for the morning and afternoon sessions at JST due to the time lag between Japan and other participating countries.
Anyone interested is welcome to join us. KU students are also very welcome.
