The goal of the OZ-Symposium on Nanostructures is

• to meet people who are working in your niche-fields
  as given under “Technical Program”.
• to gain new ideas and latest information in the field of materials science
  and process engineering.

in other words – looking over the edge of the plate in a kind of global brainstorming.

The goal of the German-Japanese | International Symposium was originally:

• to help the success of the Japanese Educational Exchange Program under the roof of and 100% supported by the Japanese Government.

OZ-events in the past have been supported by the Ritsumeikan Global Innovation Research Organization (R-GIRO) Project and the Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Area, “Bulk Nanostructured Metals”, through MEXT, Japan.
