APDIC World Round Robin Seminar
Aims
The APDIC World Round Robin Seminar is a seminar organized by APDIC. As it was declared in the first seminar, “APDIC has valuable human resources who are expert in assessing, calculating and determining a phase diagram. One of the new activities we decided to launch is to offer a series of educational seminars on phase diagrams to industry people and students. This is the basic idea of World Round Robin Seminar (WRRS). The lecturers selected among us and requested by us are all well known experts in the fields, and they provide a systematic knowledge of phase diagrams starting from the fundamentals of how to read a phase diagram to up-to-date application in designing new materials such as functional and electric applications.”

Presentation
APDIC was originally established as an organization for the assessment of phase diagrams. As part of the International Programme some 20 volumes on binary systems, totaling over 11,000 pages, and some 55 volumes on ternary systems totaling over 40,000 pages have been published under the auspices of APDIC. We believe that, in the comingages, the needs for phase diagrams and related data bases are not declining but are more pronounced. Accordingly, the assessment of the existing phase diagrams and providing reliable phase diagram data remain the core mission of APDIC. On the other hand, we all realize that materials technologies have been constantly changing towards new directions, and their specifications in the basic materials science are no more the same as decades ago. The needs for systems and for states of materials take up multi-combinations of a variety of elements and conditions. Although the numerous binary and ternary phase diagrams assessed and edited by APDIC members still play a road map even in such a development of materials technology communities, APDIC feels the necessity of exploring a new direction of our activities. Besides phase diagram data, APDIC has valuable human resources who are expert inassessing, calculating and determining a phase diagram. One of the new activities we decided to launch is to offer a series of educational seminars on phase diagrams to industry people and students. This is the basic idea of World Round Robin Seminar (WRRS). The lecturers selected among us and requested by us are all well known experts in the fields, and they provide a systematic knowledge of phase diagrams starting from the fundamentals of how to read a phase diagram to up -to-date application in designing new materials such as functional and electric applications. As the name stands for, WRRS is going to be held all over the world every two-three, years. We chose Sapporo, Japan, as the place of the first WRRS. Having many steel makers, electronic industries, metal producers and manufacturers, Japan has strong and potential technological needs in phase diagram related works. Additionally, the Japanese Committee for Alloy Phase Diagrams has been regarded as one of the leading members of APDIC and they fully agreed to support our new activity. Those who are working with phase diagrams, those who are exploring new materials and those who wish to gain a systematic knowledge of a phase diagram,... you are very welcome to our WRRS offered by world well known experts.
