The International Symposium on Fe-Oxipnictide Superconductors will be held on June 28th, 29th 2008in Tokyo, Japan.

Triggered by the recent discovery of high temperature superconductivity in oxypnictides by Prof. Hideo Hosono's group of Tokyo Institute of Technology, very active studies have been flourrished in finding new compositions and to understand basic properties of this category of the new superconductor OP-superconductors.
This symposium has been planned to summarize state-of-the-art findings of the new developments.
The admission fee is free.

The special lecture by Prof. Hosono
at the prior national symposium held on 8th June

"Biomass Nippon Strategy" has been revised by the Japanese Cabinet in March 2006, and it will be soon the year of 2008, the primal appointed implementation period of Kyoto Protocol.

To hand down this beautiful earth to our posterity, BioFuels World Committee proudly present the symposium, Exposition, BioFuels World, focusing on efficient use of biomass resources in Southeast Asia, and would like to build a momentum for further advancement of biofuels by creating an opportunity for all such as engineers, technical experts and researchers, who are involved in and interested in biofuels and their related technologies.

Kyoto University founded the Center for iPS Cell Research and Applicationt (CiRA) under the auspices of the iCeMS in January 2008 to further advance iPS cell research and applications.
The CiRA, in collaboration with other departments in Kyoto University such as the Institute for Frontier Medical Sciences and the Graduate School of Medicine, aims at clinical applications of iPS cells at the earliest stage possible.
It also provides information on iPS cell protocol and so on at the website.
