To address this, he established the Kondo Scholarship Foundation to provide financial support to such students and to support the development of future talent. <\/p>\n<p>In addition, Toyo Tanso, a co-founding organization, has long supported research in carbon materials, driven by a strong belief in the material\u2019s limitless potential. The Foundation also supports programs that foster early-career researchers engaged in original and innovative research. Building on this, the Foundation has decided to hold this symposium to further advance carbon materials technologies and to provide opportunities for exchange among researchers and industry professionals.<\/p>\n<h3>\u3000<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Date &amp; Time\uff1aOctober 16, 2026\u3000| 1:00 PM \u2013 4:50 PM<\/li>\n<li>Venue\uff1aOsaka Station Hotel  7th Floor\u3000\"The Ball Room East Half\"<\/li>\n<li>Organizer\uff1aKondo Memorial Foundation<\/li>\n<li>Supported by\uff1aToyo Tanso Co., Ltd.<\/li>\n<li>Capacity\uff1a100 participants<\/li>\n<li>Admission\uff1aFree<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Symposium\u30001:00\uff5e4:50 PM\u3000\"The Ball Room East (Half)\"<\/h2>\n<p>Registration Opens\uff1a0:30 PM<br>Moderator\uff1aTakahiro Morishita<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>1:00 PM \u2013 1:10 PM\u3000Opening Remarks<br>The event began with opening remarks by Naotaka Kondo, President of the Kondo Memorial Foundation and Chairman, President &amp; CEO of Toyo Tanso Co., Ltd.<\/li>\n<li>1:10 PM \u2013 2:00 PM\u3000Special Lecture<br>\u300cMaterials Innovation Driven Strategies for Achieving Net-Zero Emissions and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)\u300d<br>\uff08Mrityunjay Singh, Ph.D.\nChair, Global Alliance for Technology and Society, USA\nPresident, World Academy of Ceramics\nPrincipal Scientist, Ohio Aerospace Institute, USA\uff09<\/li><br>\n<li>2:00 PM \u2013 2:50 PM\u3000Research Presentation<br>\u300cDevelopment of a Novel Synthesis Method for Graphene Quantum Dots on Oxide Nanoparticles Using Low-Temperature CVD\u300d<br>\n   \uff08Takeharu Yoshii.
