Technological innovations in the materials science field are expected to provide a wide range of breakthroughs that aid the establishment of a sustainable society. These breakthroughs will have wide-ranging implications for economic activities and will help achieve harmony with the natural environment from the global point of view. To establish comprehensive innovation strategies, it is necessary to address cross-cutting issues by interdisciplinary collaborations among scientists from industries, national institutes, and academia for the search of new function, creation of new materials, and development of new processing route in the interdisciplinary field. In this annual meeting of MRS-J, we will discuss some typical examples of the recent achievements and innovations in advanced materials research and technology.
