Message from the Chairman

National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST) and Tokushima University (TU) have established “Tokushima University Education and Research Center at Taiwan Tech” at NTUST on June 26th, 2014. Since then, bilateral collaborative research projects between NTUST and TU have been launched to promote their research works and achievements to the international academic and industrial societies. As one of the commemorative events, the First International Forum on Advanced Technologies: IFAT2015 was held in Tokushima (Japan) organized by both Universities on March 9th, 2015. After the success of IFAT2015, IFAT has alternated every other year between NTUST and TU; even during the COVID19 pandemic, IFAT was held online and uninterrupted. In 2023, NTUST successfully got back to the on-site IFAT2023 as a showcase for our ongoing collaborative researches in progress. Following this, IFAT2024 was hosted by TU, and IFAT2025 was held at NTUST as 2025 International Advanced Technology and Taiwan–Japan Engineering Forum (IAT&TJEF 2025).

This year the IFAT community at TU is honored to host the in-person Twelfth International Forum on Advanced Technologies: IFAT2026.
I welcome you all who want to join IFAT2016. See you soon in Tokushima!

The scope of this forum includes a wide range of technologies that cover the following topics, but is not limited to:

• Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials
• Advanced Measurement and Plasma Technologies
• Advances in Processing and Manufacturing of Electronic and Electrical Components
• Digital Transformation and Artificial Intelligence for Sustainability
• Optical Engineering and Imaging Sensing Techniques
• Deteriorations and Retrofitting Techniques for Civil Engineering Structures
• Emerging Fields and New Technologies
• Industrial Management and Design

On behalf of the IFAT2026 committee, I warmly invite you, scientists, engineers, as well as students to take part in this forum with your enthusiasm to create innovative technologies. The students are specially encouraged to explain their works in poster presentations.
We are looking forward to seeing you at IFAT2026 in Tokushima !

Sincerely

Yasunori MUTO
