Scope of Symposium

The Research Institute for Electronic Science (RIES) at Hokkaido University contains a diverse range of interdisciplinary scientific research and we have several programs in place to encourage active interactions between different research fields. The International Symposium is an important one of these programs. The objectives of this annual symposium are to facilitate the discussion of recent scientific topics and the exchange of new ideas between interdisciplinary fields. We hope that this Symposium is helpful in merging recent concepts in different scientific fields to promote the creation of new research areas and technology.

The main theme of the 8th Symposium is symbolized by a single Japanese Kanji (Chinese Character) “微[bi]”. It originally means small, fine or delicate. In the field of science, “微[bi]” is often used for micro- and/or nano-size related matter, such as microorganisms (微生物), microscope (顕微鏡), fine particles (微粒子) and fine structures (微細構造). We have chosen this theme for our 8th Symposium since nanoscience and nanotechnology are the recent main targets of research in RIES. With this keyword in mind, we would like to implement interdisciplinary discussions under the unified theme during this Symposium. Your participation is indispensable for the success of this Symposium.
