≪Lecture of Catalyst&Raremetal≫
Date: May 29(Fri),2015 13:00-17:00
Venue: 21F, Hall B-1, AER
Sponsorship: Next Genaration automobiles in Miyagi

We co-hosted the simposium on rare metals strategy and how to proceed in the catalyst development on May 29.
We invited various lecturers from industry, government, and academia, including Norio Fujii from METI and Takashi Nakamura from Tohoku University. They talked about overseas and domestic latest trends, universities and companies
of technology development, etc. in terms of rare metals strategy and catalyst development which made this symposium very lively. Since rare metals and the catalyst
is a theme that has received much attention now, many people form local
companies attended this simposium and the question-and-answer session was also actively carried
out.
