ICPADM 2003

The ICPADM 2003 at NAGOYA, Japan will be held on June 1-5, 2003. The ICPADM is a large-scale international conference on dielectrics and electrical insulation. The purpose of this conference is to provide a forum for reserachers, scientists and engineers from all over the world to exchange ideas and discuss recent progress in dielectric materials, electrical insulation and related measurement technolgy. Previous conferences were held every three years in Xi'an, China(1985), Beijing, China(1988), Tokyo, Japan(1991), Brisbane, Australia(1994), Seoul, Korea(1997) and Xi'an, China(2000). The conference organizers cordially invite you to participate in the conference.

Location

NAGOYA is the 4th largest city in Japan and is located at the center of Japan, between Tokyo and Osaka. Nagoya Castle and twin golden dolphins are the most famous in Nagoya. Nagoya castle was originally built in 1612 by the 1st shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa. Since then, Nagoya was an important city that strategically linked the old capital of Kyoto with the new capital of Edo(the old name of Tokyo). Nagoya had more temples than Kyoto, but most of temples and original Nagoya castle were fired in the World War II. Therefore, Nagoya is transfigured to a modern western-style city. If you are interested in Nagoya and want to know about Nagoya city in detail, please access http://www.ncvb.or.jp/e_html/index_e.htm or http://www.ncvb.or.jp/index_e.html. The nearest airport to Nagoya is the Nagoya International Airport (NGO). There are many flights to Nagoya from main cities in the world. The direct airlines from Europe are three lines, from Amsterdam(KLM)*, from Frankfrut(LH) and from London(JL)*. The direct airlines from USA are four lines, from Portland(DL)*, from Washington and Detroit(NW) and from Los Angeles(JL*&RG). If you arrive at Nagoya Airport, you can move to the downtown by bus within 30min. If you arrive at the Tokyo International Airport (NARITA, NRT) or the Kansai International Airport(KIX), you have to take a Shinkansen from Tokyo Station or Shin-Osaka Station, respectively. It takes about 1 and 2 hours to move to Nagoya Station from Tokyo Station and Shin-Osaka Station, respectively.
