The 14th edition of the Polish-Japanese Joint Seminar on Micro and Nano Analysis, which took place in Toyama and was chaired by Prof. Kenji Matsuda (University of Toyama) and Prof. Wojciech Maziarz (IMME PAS), is already behind us. The co-organizers on the Polish side were the Institute of Metallurgy and Materials Science of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Polish Society of Microscopy. The first lectures were given by Prof. Makoto Shiojiri and Prof. Jan Dutkiewicz – combining science with memories of previous editions. The sessions focused on using transmission and scanning electron microscopy to solve scientific problems in metallic, ceramic and biological materials. The seminar was attended by 18 Polish (members of PTMi) and 19 Japanese participants. In addition to the scientific values, the seminar brought elements of cultural exchange. The opportunity to visit the Tatayama mountain range and taste traditional local dishes was an opportunity to get to know the Toyama Prefecture region. By the decision of the Advisory Committee, the 15th edition of the seminar will be organized in 2026 under the chairmanship of Prof. Wojciech Maziarz (IMME PAS), to which we invite you today.
Participation of invited speakers was financially supported by the Polish Academy of Science.
