Scope:

“Water” is the closest substance to humankind. It is essential for sustaining life. Nevertheless, due the complexity of its structure and properties, there is still much that is unknown about water, leaving its basic science in yet a developing stage of research. Over recent years, “Water Science” has at long last entered a new phase with the advent of advanced analytical devices and simulation methods. In the industrial realm, water continues to play a central role, though even in a supporting role, it is indispensable. Not only in the processing of drinking water, water and sewage supply and environmental water but across a spectrum of engineering and medical fields water has a substantial role. These include nano-processing, nano-control of physical properties, drainage devices, material-surface processing, hydrothermal reaction, electric storage systems, C1 chemistry, high-purity cleaning, bio-materials, medicine　development and so on. In this point of view, the “Symposium on Advanced Water Science and Technology” is aimed to be held in IUMRS-ICAM 2017. The goals of this symposium are not only to discuss the fundamental of water science related to materials, environment and energy but also to provide an opportunity for scientists and engineers to exchange information, view, perspectives, and ideas on the new scientific understanding, novel techniques, and upcoming industrial applications of water-related technology.
