Osaka University-Shanghai Jiao Tong University Joint Workshop on Materials and Manufacturing Science 2010 was held.

Osaka University-Shanghai Jiao Tong University Joint Workshop on Materials and Manufacturing Science 2010 was held at Memorial Hall of Materials Research, Osaka University on May 24, 2010.

Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) is one of the universities with which Osaka University has concluded academic exchange agreements on university-university basis. In addition, SJTU is a partner university of our Global COE Program based on MOU with their School of Materials Science and Engineering (SMSE). The workshop aimed at exchange of views on advanced materials research, inviting a delegation of seven faculty members from SMSE and staff from Division of International Cooperation and Exchange.

The workshop started with an opening address by Prof. Kakeshita followed by introduction to SMSE by Prof. Wu, Dean of SMSE. Four presentations on advanced materials research were given by each university.

The workshop was a fruitful success, having a total of 57 participants including members from our Global COE, visiting researchers and students from China. After the workshop, some participants toured labs and others had discussions with their counter parts on specific topics. We believe that this workshop further strengthened the relationship between SMSE, Shanghai Jiao Tong University and our Global COE-centered material science research and education institutions in Osaka University.
