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 sixth prize is to be given to Prof. J.-L. Chenot and Prof. T. Nakamura at the 10th ICTP (Aachen, Germany) in September, 2011. 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
5th (2008) Prof. T.A. Dean and Prof. R. Kopp
6th (2011) Prof. J.-L. Chenot and Prof. T. Nakamura

As an associated event of the Prize, an "International Seminar on Precision Forging" (ISPF) will be held in Kyoto, Japan from March 11 to 14, 2013. ISPF was held in Osaka (1997, 2000), Nagoya (2004), Nara (2006) and Kyoto (2009), 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-5th ISPF are listed as following;

Date Place Program
1st March 31-April 3, 1997 Osaka 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.
