As one of special events to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Hosokawa Powder Technology Foundation, the Hosokawa European Powder Technology Symposium was held at the conference hall of Hosokawa Alpine AG in Augsburg, Germany on Monday, September 29, 2014. It was the first symposium held by Hosokawa Foundation outside Japan aiming at the globalization of the Foundation. It organizes the Symposium on Powder Technology in Japan since 1992 taking over from Hosokawa Micron Corporation. The first Symposium on Powder Technology was held already in 1968 as a special event on the occasion of completion of the new building of Hosokawa Micromeritics Laboratory (current, Powder Technology Research Institute) in Hirakata operation of Hosokawa Micron Corporation. The Hosokawa European Powder Technology Symposium was attended by more than 60 participants from various countries in Europe and Japan including Mr. Miyata, the vice-president of the Foundation and the president (current chairman) of Hosokawa Micron Corporation.
The Symposium was started by Prof. J. Hidaka, General Manager of the Foundation and first the welcome address was given by Mr. Y. Hosokawa, the president of the Foundation. In this speech, he emphasized the importance of the information exchange among the researchers and engineers on the worldwide basis. Following this, four lecturers made presentation from the viewpoints of material design and powder processing in relation with the main subject of “Trends in Powder Technology for New Functional Materials” shown in the program below. At the end of this symposium, Mr. Krieg, the president of Hosokawa Alpine AG, presented the closing remarks to the audience of the symposium on behalf of the sponsors of this Symposium.
The history and activities of the Foundation were introduced in the preprints and the poster presented in the reception hall, where the registration was made and drinks were served during the coffee break. Many discussions were conducted in this hall as well as the conference room.
