Outline The "JSTP International Prize for R&D in Precision Forging" was established in 1996 to promote research and development in precision forging and other net shape forming methods with a fund donated by Nichidai Corporation. The fourth prize is to be given to Prof. N. Bay and Prof. K. Osakada at the 8th ICTP (Verona, Italy) in October, 2005. Past prize winners of JSTP International Prize;
Prize winners 1st (1996) Prof. H. Kudo and Prof. T. Altan 2nd (1999) Prof. K. Lange and Dr. H. Pugh 3rd (2002) Prof. K. Kondo and Prof. M. Geiger 4th (2005) Prof. N. Bay and Prof. K. Osakada As an associated event of the Prize, an "International Seminar on Precision Forging" (ISPF) will be held in Nara, Japan from March 21 to 24, 2006. ISPF was held in Osaka (1997, 2000) and Nagoya (2004), respectively. In the seminar, about 10 active researchers/engineers reviewed the recent development of precision forging technology, and the invited young researchers/engineers introduced their own activities. There were about 100 participants at each seminar. The programs and further information of 1st-3rd ISPF are listed as following;
Date Place Program 1st March 31-April 3, 1997 Osaka Program 2nd May 15-18, 2000 Osaka Program 3rd March 15-18, 2004 Nagoya Program
Seminar This seminar consists of keynote lectures by the prize winners and guest speakers, and oral/poster presentations by invited young researchers/engineers in order to lead the new technology. After the seminar, factory visit (Nichidai and some hot/cold forging factories) will be arranged.
About 30 young researchers/engineers under 35 years old will be invited to the seminar by providing travel grants. The invited young researchers/engineers have to present their papers/posters at the seminar.Travel grant for young researchers/engineers The lowest international air fare from the nearest airport of your working place to Osaka and the hotel charge during the seminar will be granted. For the application to the grant, please use the attached application form. The result whether the applicant is invited with travel grant or not, and the amount of the grant will be notified until December 10, 2005.
Application form for travel grant: [MS Word] [PDF]General participants We would like to welcome about 50 experienced researchers/engineers regardless their ages, and they are expected to give some comments and some discussions at this seminar. For general participants, this seminar may be also good opportunity to acquire new forging technology. (For general participants, we will keep the accommodations and meals, but will not grant the expenses for the travel, hotel fees and meals.)
