The inaugural Japan-Germany Frontiers of Engineering Symposium will be held in Tokyo, Japan, and is a joint collaboration between the Engineering Academy of Japan (EAJ), the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (AvH), the Volkswagen Foundation, DWIH Tokyo and acatech.
Following the motto “Advanced Materials and Systems for Sustainable Society”, this symposium will aim to promote the overarching discussion from sustainable materials and systems to their practical applications and implementations in society. In particular, two sessions will be organized from two different perspectives: Bottom up from new materials with novel properties and functions to their technological applications, and top down from innovative engineering systems and their requirements to design of necessary materials. This symposium will tackle circular materials and materials systems from different angles with speakers and participants with a broad range of backgrounds, linking research in engineering from academia to industry.
In particular, the symposium will focus on the following topics:
– Multifunctional and sustainable materials for the future
– Sustainable engineering systems and their social implementation
