Outline
Thank you for your continued support of MECHANICAL FINDER.
We are pleased to announce the 16th MECHANICAL FINDER User Meeting, which will be held on-site in Japan. This meeting serves as a vital platform for users to share research insights and clinical expertise, fostering advancements in computational mechanics and medicine.
While the main sessions will be conducted in Japanese, we also welcome video presentations from our global users. Furthermore, we plan to make selected presentations available as English-language videos at a later date, ensuring that our international community can benefit from the shared knowledge.
A get-together will follow the main program. We hope that the lively discussions and new connections made in person will provide fresh inspiration and solutions for your research. We warmly welcome all participants, including those joining us for the first time, and our team looks forward to seeing you at the venue.
