On the 19th, the Society for the Advancement of Materials and Process Engineering (SAMPE Japan) held a special lecture meeting at The University of Tokyo Ito International Research Center in Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo.
The lecture commemorated the 30th year since SAMPE Japan, an association which sends information regarding the advancement of materials, processes and application to industries, academic institutes and the government, was founded. Approximately 150 people attended the lecture.

When greeting the audience, president Kageyama Kazuo noted that “Advanced materials will be a crucial component in caring for the earth’s environment by lowering energy consumption, reducing carbon dioxide omissions, and providing other positive effects on the environment.
Its presence continues to grow.”
Dr. Scott W. Bechwith, SAMPE’s international technical director, gave a lecture on the advancement of composite materials. Various exhibitions were on display at the event hall, such as a model of “Honda Jet”, the compact business jet, a small-scale model of “Hayabusa 2”, the asteroid probe, and Toray’s first ”TRAYCA” carbon fiber pilot production bobbin, attracting attention from visitors.
