International Bioelectrics Consortium

International Bioelectrics Consortium (2015)

The International Bioelectrics Consortium (IBC) was established in 2005 to discuss the fundamental science and the application on Biological Applications of Pulsed Power and Plasmas "Bioelectrics". The IBC now includes 16 universities/ academic institutes (See Fig.). Kumamoto University IPPS plays a pivotal role in the consortium to promote international collaborative activities. Main activities of the IBC are:

・Organizing international teleconferences in every three months
・Organizing international symposium annually
・Exchanging scholars and students
・Collaborative research work on the topics of mutual interests

International Collaboration Scheme on Explosion and Impulsive Materials Processing

The following activities have been made for discussing the fundamental science and the application on Explosion and Impulsive Materials Processing.

・Organizing international symposium (about 3 years interval since 1997)
・Exchange scholars and students
・Collaborative research work pursuing the topics of mutual interests
