As an associated event of the Prize, an "International Seminar on Precision Forging" (ISPF) will be held in Nagoya, Japan from March 5 to 8, 2018. ISPF was held in Osaka (1997, 2000), Nagoya (2004, 2015), Nara (2006) and Kyoto (2009, 2013), 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-7th ISPF are listed as following;

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.
