About the Seminar
Since 1997, the Polish-Japanese Joint Seminar has been a cornerstone of scientific collaboration between Poland and Japan in materials science and electron microscopy.
Research Topics
The seminar covers a wide range of topics in materials science and microscopy.
Advanced Materials
Modern materials and their properties including metal alloys, nanomaterials, semiconductors, and biomaterials.
Manufacturing Technologies
Modern manufacturing technologies and processing methods for advanced materials.
Micro and Nano Analysis
Modern techniques for micro- and nano-scale analysis of materials structure and composition.
Electron Microscopy
Analysis of materials using electron microscopy - experimental and theoretical aspects.
X-ray Techniques
Materials analysis using X-ray techniques - experimental and theoretical aspects.
Our History
The Polish-Japanese Joint Seminars on Micro and Nano Analysis have been organized biennially since 1997, alternating between Polish and Japanese research institutions. These meetings serve as an important platform for exchanging experiences and scientific ideas, presenting research results and new measurement methods, and establishing collaborations among both experienced and young scientists.
The thematic scope covers issues related to the analysis of modern materials using advanced techniques for studying structure and microstructure, as well as searching for correlations between structure and material properties. The main goal is to create a space for direct exchange of knowledge and achievements among specialists.
The greatest value of the seminars lies in the interactions between experts from Poland and Japan, representing the fields of materials engineering, materials science, and electron microscopy. The cyclical nature of the event fosters building lasting scientific relationships, resulting in joint research projects and publications.
Origins of the Collaboration
The history of Polish-Japanese cooperation dates back to 1985, when Prof. M. Shiojiri from Kyoto Institute of Technology and Prof. Julian Auleytner from the Institute of Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences met in Szczyrk during the VII International School "Defects in Crystals".
In 1995, Prof. M. Shiojiri and Prof. J. Kątcki began a joint project approved under the Polish-Japanese Government Committee on Science and Technology Cooperation, leading to the first seminar in September 1997.
Seminar History
The seminars alternate between Poland and Japan every two years.
