Scope of Symposium

The first international RIES-Hokudai Symposium has been convened in 1999, and we welcome you to the 6th RIES-Hokudai Symposium in Sapporo, Japan, on December 13 and 14, 2004. The objectives of this annual symposium are to discuss recent topics and to exchange new ideas in the interdisciplinary fields.

For this year, we are going to put a spotlight on a single Japanese Kanji (Chinese Character) "[chou]". It originally means exceed something or go across over something. In the field of science, "(chou)" is often used to translate adjectives or prefixes of super, supra, ultra and hyper. Superconductor (), superlattice (), supramolecule (), ultra thin film (), and ultra fast measurements () are typical examples. In this conference, with this keyword in mind, we would like to implement interdisciplinary discussions under the unified theme. Your participation is indispensable presence for the success of this Symposium.
