On behalf of the of Local Organizing Committee of ICCM-16 (formed by the Japan Society for Composite Materials), I would like to invite you to attend the 16th International Conference on Composite Materials (ICCM-16) to be held in Kyoto, Japan from July 8th (registration only) to 13th, 2007.

This conference follows a preeminent tradition of ICCM, the world’s leading composite conference series. Internationally renowned composite scientists, engineers, and designers continue to attend the ICCM series in order to present their newest findings and keep up to date with the latest achievements in these very active, high-technology fields.

The main theme of the conference will be “A Giant Step towards Environmental Awareness: From Green Composites to Aerospace”. This theme symbolizes the contribution of composite materials to the global environment including two extreme cases in composites research, namely aerospace applications and green composites that contain natural reinforcements. This theme is also highly appropriate as the conference venue is the Kyoto International Conference Center (ICC Kyoto), birthplace of the Kyoto Protocol for Carbon Dioxide Reduction.

We look forward to seeing you in Kyoto in July 2007 for ICCM-16!

Takashi Ishikawa General Chair, ICCM-16 Aviation Program Director, JAXA
