CALL FOR PAPERS

The 9th International Student Conference on Advanced Science and Technology
ICAST 2014 Clermont-Ferrand, France
December 11-12, 2014

　We are pleased to announce that the Global Joint Education Center for Science and Technology (GJEC) of Graduate School of Science and Technology (GSST), Kumamoto University, Japan and Blaise Pascal University, France will organize the 9th International Student Conference on Advanced Science and Technology (ICAST) to be held in Polytech Clermont-Ferrand on December 11 and 12, 2014. ICAST has been serving to promote international exchange among graduate students and young researchers in various fields of the advanced science and technology, since we had the first conference in Kumamoto in 2008. In addition to Kumamoto the past ICAST took place in Peking University (China), Ewha Womans University (Korea), Ege University (Turkey), Shandong University (China) and University of Seoul (Korea). Active participation of students not only in presentation but also in management of the conference is vital to ICAST. This year the program includes Research Session and General Session in the fields indicated below. Participation of undergraduate students is encouraged as well.
