On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is a privilege to welcome
you to the 8th International Conference of ASPEN (ASPEN2019).
Asian Society for Precision Engineering and Nanotechnology
(ASPEN) is an academic society of societies in the field of
precision engineering and nanotechnology for Asian researchers. International conferences of ASPEN have been held biannually
since 2005 in Asian cities.

ASPEN2019 will be held at Kunibiki Messe in Matsue, Japan from 12th to 15th of November. Matsue known as the city of water is surrounded by beautiful nature and was built as a castle town. Matsue Castle designated as a National Treasure in 2015 is a symbol of Matsue City.

ASPEN2019 is focusing on precision engineering and manufacturing industries in Asia. ASPEN has successfully promoted Asian researchers, especially Asian young researchers, to create a place of mutual understanding. Asia is the largest market of precision engineering and manufacturing, it is expected to become the largest field of future research.

I hope that this conference will give you good opportunities for mutual communication in the field of precision engineering and nanotechnology.

I am looking forward to seeing you in Matsue in November.
