However, considering the current situation of the spread of the new coronavirus, it has become clear a face-to-face symposium in November 2021 will not be possible. Considering your safety as the most important thing, we decided to have the 18JKSC using virtual system (Zoom) during November 23-25, 2021. Because we are anxious about the suspension of international friendship exchange between Korea and Japan, we will not postpone the 18JKSC symposium again. The already submitted abstracts have been kept as they are. In case you need to make modification on your availability, abstract, presentation style, please send an E-mail to the 18JKSC secretary office (E-mail: 18jksc@mat.eng.osaka-u.ac.jp). Thank you for your kind understanding. Please don’t hesitate to make any questions and any requests.
