The 1st International Symposium on Advanced Microscopy and Theoretical Calculations (AMTC1) will be held from June 29 to 30, 2008 at the Nagoya Congress Center, Nagoya, Japan.
This symposium will be held in commemoration of the establishment of the Nanostuctures Research Laboratory at the Japan Fine Ceramics Center, also as one of the events to inherit the concept of EXPO 2005 AICHI, JAPAN. This series of symposium will be held every other year.
The purpose of the 2008 symposium is to bring together leading scientists and engineers from all over the world in order to discuss in depth a specific theme related to latest developments in microscopy and in computational techniques used both for nanostructure analysis and for the design of advanced materials. Coverage of topical subjects is confidently expected to lead to future breakthroughs in materials science and engineering, and ultimately to be of benefit to environmental protection and to sustainable development throughout the world. The first symposium will take the form of approximately 25 oral talks by invited speakers. Poster presentations are also planned.

Date	June 29-30,2008
