ISIMS-2011 is held as a part of activities of Strategic Initiatives for
Interdisciplinary Materials Science (SI-IMS) that was organized in University
of Tsukuba in 2007. The initiative is managed by researchers in five departments
in Graduate School of Pure and Applied Sciences, and aims at a novel development
in Materials Science by promoting closer collaboration between different
fields. The first symposium, ISIMS-2008, was held on 13-14 March 2008 in
Tsukuba, where more than 180 participants discussed issues on innovative
hybrid molecules, interdisciplinary optical science, nano-science, and
the biomaterial. In the second symposium, ISIMS-2009, held on 9-10 March
2009, were discussed functionality in ‘molecular assembly’, ‘specific field
and functional molecules’, ‘surface and interface science’, and ‘environmental
and biomaterial science and technology’. Now, in the third one, ISIMS-2011,
we are going to discuss in the latest research progress in the related
fields to conclude the SI-IMS project.
