CALL FOR PAPERS


Greeting to YSR4 Participants

  The 4th Pan-Yellow Sea Rim International Symposium on Magnesium Alloys will be held at 100th Anniversary Memorial Hall, Kumamoto University, Kumamoto, Japan on 12-13 November 2009. The theme of this year's symposium, "Aspiring for International Cooperation in the Development of Magnesium Alloys in East Asia", will be especially attractive to scholars and practitioners from around the Pan-Yellow sea region.
  The kick-off symposium of a new MEXT program: "Establishment of East Asia Research Network on Development of Advanced Mg Alloys", will be held during this symposium. We would invite all participants to exchange their new research achievements within this field, as well as to seek to establish international cooperation. We hope that this symposium will provide a valuable forum to highlight current and future multidisciplinary research and application of magnesium alloys.
  We would like to welcome all of you as distinguished guests of this special event. We look forward to meeting you at the symposium in Kumamoto.
