Welcome

15th ISST 2021
Invitation
Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the organizing committee, we warmly welcome you to participate in the 15th International Symposium on Science and Technology 2021 (ISST 2021), to be held online on August 5th and 6th, 2021, hosted by Kansai University.

Although ISST2020 was initially scheduled to be held in Osaka last summer, the current global pandemic left us with no choice except postponing it. ISST2020 has now become ISST2021 and we have decided to make it entirely virtual. Although we are not meeting face-to-face, we hope that the change in format is to be accompanied by some positive aspects. We would like to make the event free of charge for all participants from our partner universities. This will also be a great opportunity to attract a wider range of participants, including graduate and undergraduate students who have little access to such expensive symposiums often held abroad.

ISST2021 will offer outstanding scientific programs, divided into the six fields of

1. Mathematics and Physics
2. Mechanical Engineering
3. Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Information Technologies
4. Civil Engineering and Architecture
5. Materials Engineering and Chemistry
6. Life and Food Sciences

in the two formats of presentations and poster sessions. Student presentation awards will also be presented. We look forward to seeing you all at the ISST2021!

Lastly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Kansai University, and the Associative Society for the Collaboration between Industries & Kansai University for the financial support and cooperation.

Yours sincerely,

Prof. Yasuo Nagaoka　Dean of the Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Kansai University
