Materials Innovation Strategy Symposium 2025 (MatISS 2025)
The Scope of MatISS 2025
As societal challenges grow more complex and urgent, expectations for materials science are increasing. The government strategy “Materials Innovation Strategy” emphasizes transforming materials research into a data-driven approach to accelerate innovation. To address this need, MEXT is implementing the Materials DX Platform initiative. This initiative is composed of three key projects: the Advanced Research Infrastructure for Materials and Nanotechnology in Japan (ARIM), which promotes the shared use of cutting-edge facilities and data; the NIMS Materials Data Platform (MDPF), which provides the infrastructure for managing and utilizing data; and the Data Generation and Utilization Materials Research and Development Projects (DxMT), which pioneers new data-driven research methodologies in various important fields.
This symposium will provide an overview of the activities within these three projects and examine the role of enhanced materials innovation strategy capabilities in achieving key societal goals such as Society 5.0, carbon neutrality, national resilience, and well-being.
Registration Deadline (onsite): January 27, 2025
