International ties strengthened

SPIE and the Japan Society of Applied Physics (JSAP) have renewed an agreement to collaborate in technical conferences, publications, and other information exchange, with the signing of a memorandum of understanding by the two societies' presidents this week in Osaka.

"SPIE is honored to continue our close relationships and fruitful collaboration with the Japan Society of Applied Physics and its members through this agreement," said SPIE President Katarina Svanberg (Lund University Hospital). "The memorandum we have signed is a continuation of a long-standing partnership between our two societies that has helped advance optics and photonics in important ways."

Yasuhiro Shiraki, President of the JSAP and professor at Tokyo City University, and Svanberg met for the signing during the Optics and Photonics Japan 2011 conference sponsored by the Optical Society of Japan (OSJ) at Osaka University. OSJ is a member society of JSAP.The MOU recognizes the strong interest in mutual cooperation between JSAP and SPIE to serve members of the international optical science and engineering community.

Among those present at the signing were Optical Society of Japan President and past SPIE Board member Mitsuo Takeda, SPIE Board member Toyohiko Yatagai, and other leadership from the OSJ. During a special session at the OSJ conference, Svanberg, gave a talk on "Diagnostics and treatment of tumors using laser techniques" and provided an overview of SPIE. Svanberg and other featured speakers were honored at an evening reception.

Svanberg's visit in Japan also included a talk at a meeting of the SPIE Student Chapter at Osaka University and participation in the Handai Photonics Day 2011 hosted by SPIE Fellow Satoshi Kawata at the Photonics Center at the university.
