The 1st International Fuel Cell Summer Seminar (IFCSS) was held on Monday, August 17 – Thursday, August 20 at Kawaguchiko Park Hotel. The seminar attracted more than 90 young scientists many from abroad to discuss forefront researches with seven invited speakers in the area of catalysts, membranes, MEAs, and fuel cell vehicles. In addition, the participants could gain deep and mutual understandings through the poster presentations and group meetings, where active discussion on their researches has been held.
I hope that the seminar has contributed to fostering young fuel cell researchers and engineers and promoting their scientific exchange.
Thank you very much to all of the seminar attendees, as well as all those who helped to make the seminar a success.
