Closing Remarks
It is our great pleasure to organize the 12th RSC Tokyo International Conference (RSC-TIC) “Data Processing and the Use of Smartphones for Analytical Chemistry” supported by The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) and Japan Analytical Instruments Manufacturer’s Association (JAIMA). Due to COVID-19, RSC-TIC were held as online events in 2020 and 2021. The hybrid-style conference was organized in 2022, which was held at Kawasaki Life Science and Environment Research Center. Although RSC-TIC had been held beside Japan Analytical Scientific Instruments Show (JASIS) until 2019, we had been forced to hold RSC-TIC separately from JASIS for past three years. Therefore, we are pleased to organize the conference at Makuhari Messe together with JASIS this year, which provides the best opportunities to exchange information between industrial and academic researchers, which is hardly held in other general conferences in Japan. The 12th RSC-TIC was composed of plenary and invited talks related with separation science, and flash presentation & poster session related with various analytical chemistry and instrumentations. We accepted 69 poster presentations including 6% from industry, and 94% from academic institutions. We hope that this conference will be re-activated by the participation of the researchers from all over the world without any fear of the infection. At the first RSC-TIC held in 2012, “flash presentation & poster session” was specially planned to provide an opportunity to discuss various analytical topics among many analytical chemists involving industrial and academic researchers. Especially, we expected an attendance of young researchers who will become leaders in the next generation. "Flash presentation" means a short (70 seconds) introduction on the presenter’s "poster presentation". All the participants can understand the summary of various research topics within a limited time, which is expected to encourage fruitful discussion at the following poster session. In addition, "flash presentation" may help all the participants to know researcher's "face" each other, and then, the participants easily find interesting ones. This system has been working quite successfully since it started. In closing, we expect all the participants to establish cooperative relationships in RSC-TIC to proceed research collaborations, and we believe that such collaboration will open the new analytical science and technology involving the development of new principles and instrumentations, and will accelerate industrial-academic cooperation.
