President Message
President of JACM |
I was appointed the President of the Japan Association for Computational Mechanics (JACM). My term as the president is from April 2024 to March 2027. I would like to offer my greetings on taking office as President of the JACM.
The JACM was established on December 17, 2002 and, as stated in the statutes, is the Japanese branch of the IACM (International Association for Computational Mechanics) as the IACM affiliated society. The JACM is a voluntary organization of individual researchers in computational mechanics in Japan and a kind of umbrella organizations independent of the domestic academic societies.
For future activities, the COMPSAFE 2025 (Conference on Computational Engineering and Science for Safety and Environmental Problems) will be held in July 1-4, 2025, which was also held in Japan in 2020. The JACM will prepare for the conference together with the JSCES (Japan Society for Computational Engineering and Science) the conference as co-hosting organizations. The APCOM 2025 (Asian Pacific Association for Computational Mechanics 2025) is also scheduled to be held, and we will actively participate in these conferences. Proposals for minisymposia are expected to be submitted for these conferences, and a lot of members are expected to attend.
By the efforts of the former President Hiroshi Okada (Tokyo University of Science) and the secretariats, the JACM meetings and the awardee seminars of the JACM Awards have been held. We would like to continue to hold these events in the future. I hope that a lot of members will be able to participate all events including the international conferences.
