MJIIT-JUC Joint International Symposium 2013 Organized By MJJIS2013 MJIIT-JUC Joint International Symposium 2013 A memorial event celebrating the 40th Year of ASEAN-Japan Friendship and Cooperation Nov. 6-8, Shonan Campus, Tokai University, Hiratsuka, JAPAN Organized by JUC (Japanese University Consortium) MJIIT (Malaysia-Japan International Institute of Technology) Supported by Tokai University Universiti Teknologi Malaysia MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in Japan) MOFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan) JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) Welcoming Messages from General Co-chairs It is my great pleasure to welcome all participants to this MJIIT-JUC Joint International Symposium 2013 (MJJIS2013), which is a memorial event celebrating the 40th Year of ASEAN-JAPAN Friendship and Cooperation. This symposium is held at Tokai University, Hiratsuka, Kanagawa, JAPAN between November 6th and 8th. Japan University Consortium consists of 25 Japanese universities participating not only in steering of this symposium but also in the establishment and further development of MJIIT. International collaboration nowadays has been a widely acknowledged, research trend. In such research endeavor, multi-cultural and interdisciplinary atmosphere is a key factor to incubate challenging spirits and supporting environment for pioneering a new research field. This symposium exactly serves such a purpose because the main objective of the symposium is to promote communication and dialogue among young researchers, engineers and students from different countries. This symposium covers the fields of Electronic Systems Engineering, Mechanical and Precision Engineering, Environmental and Green Technology, Management of Technology, Information Technology and Communications, and Medical Biotechnology. Three keynote speeches and approximately 190 research papers will be presented. I would like to take the opportunity to thank the researchers and postgraduate students for their contribution and dedication to MJJIS2013. I also would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of the hardworking committee members and the secretariat for materializing this symposium. Last but not least, our special appreciation goes to MOFA, MEXT, and JICA for giving their strong support for MJJIS2013. Hiromu Hashimoto, Professor Vice Chancellor, Tokai University Both the Malaysian and Japanese governments have established the Malaysia Japan International Institute of Technology (MJIIT) with the aim to provide engineering education with greater emphasis and focus towards the ASEAN region. The formation of MJIIT is the climax of the first wave of the Look East Policy observed by Malaysia. MJIIT is liken to a “Japanese University” operating off shore, in Malaysia, which is considered unthinkable in the past. The support from a consortium of 25 Japanese Universities (JUC), organized through the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA), is indeed immense in ensuring that Japanese style engineering education is established, and inculcating and deeply rooting the Japanese work culture. The cooperation, which started well before 10th August 2010, the official launching date of the MJIIT, has seen a tremendous growth and stability with respect to the placement of Japanese academic staff at MJIIT and undertakings of joint supervision of postgraduate students, in strengthening the teaching and research thrust at MJIIT. The joint symposium between MJIIT and JUC is indeed amalgamating further the established strong linkages. It is a pleasure to note that this second symposium between the MJIIT and the JUC is organized by Tokai University, as a continuing effort to bring academic staff and students from participating universities as well as outside the consortium to discuss on advanced research and development work carried out. It is also worth noting that this platform of MJIIT-JUC International Symposium (MJJIS) is part of the celebration of the 40th year of ASEAN-Japan Cooperation. Finally, I would like to thank the MJIIT-JUC committee and the local organizing committee from Tokai University for making this symposium a reality, continuing from the first symposium at MJIIT in 2012. I am indebted to Professor Hashimoto for bringing the 2013 MJJIS to this lovely campus of Tokai University. To all paper presenters and participants, I would like to wish an interesting and fruitful symposium! Arigato gozaimasu. Megat Johari Megat Mohd Noor, Professor Dean of MJIIT We welcome all participants attending MJIIT-JUC Joint International Symposium 2013. This is the second symposium jointly organized between MJIIT and Japanese University Consortium (JUC). MJIIT prepares unique educational programs for undergraduate and graduate students and staff with support by 25 Japanese universities in order to become the only one organization in ASEAN. Promotion and recommendation to attend this symposium for students and staff is a typical example of those programs. One of objectives of this symposium is to provide opportunities to young researchers and students of both MJIIT and Japanese universities to establish the networks and to breed seeds of collaboration among researchers. MJJIS2013 will surely provide all symposium participants with the opportunity to discuss together topics such as university-industry collaboration, technology partnership between Malaysia-Japan, internationalization of universities, and other hot topics. It will be required that young students and researchers absorb and assimilate a variety of knowledge from foreign countries in those proceeding research fields and that they utilize those information in regeneration and activation for own nations. From this view point, MJJIS2013 will offer an adequate opportunity to promote and accelerate the face-to-face relationship for exchange of information. I would like to express sincere thanks to all committee members and the secretariat, especially, Professor Yoshio Yamamoto and Tokai University for preparing this valuable and important symposium.

  • Sponsorship Prospectus
    Sponsorship Prospectus Ver.1.4 Greetings Neuroscience has evolved by leaps and bounds over the past 20 years, and has rapidly advanced beyond the boundaries of the humanities and sciences to become cross-disciplinary. Advances in brain science and brain medicine are uncovering the mysteries of dementia and neurological and mental disorders. For this reason, a Meeting is becoming even more important, as a place where researchers can exchange the latest research results, disseminate information about new technologies, and pursue the challenge of new discoveries and breakthroughs. The theme of the 44th Annual Meeting is "Towards global neuroscience," and we here aim to create a Platform that will bring together, in Kobe, neuroscientists from around the world, and especially from China, Japan and Korea, and foster a new collaboration in neuroscience. Though all of us may maintain a safe physical distance from each other due to COVID-19, let us create a gathering of enthusiastic researchers in search of new findings and ideas, and let’s communicate with each other. Let's take neuroscience to the next level and create new values through lively discussions among participants! How is neural information transfer determined through synaptic connections between neurons and glia in a neural circuit? How are behaviors generated by an integrated system governed by brain information dynamics? How does bi-directional communication between individuals lead to mental interaction, empathy with others, consciousness and self-realization? We are entering an exciting era in which we can academically challenge and address these multifaceted mysteries of the brain and the mind. We hope that researchers and members from all over the world who are contributing to the frontiers of neuroscience will gather in Kobe, Japan, and will create an opportunity to break barriers and make a better future in neuroscience research.
