On behalf of the Gas Turbine Society of Japan (GTSJ), I am very pleased to announce that the International Gas Turbine Congress 2003 Tokyo (IGTC '03 Tokyo) will be held from 2nd to 7th of November, 2003, with the support of collaborating societies in the world. This is the eighth international congress organized by GTSJ and the last congress took place in 1999 in Kobe, which proved to be a great success.

The technologies for gas turbines and turbochargers have been greatly developed with the improvements in the efficiency, reliability and cleanness of exhaust emissions in the last decade through the developments in heat-resistant materials, manufacturing technologies, cooling technologies of turbine blades and also the dry low NOx combustion technologies. Highly efficient and low NOx power plants have been put in practical use in Japan and recently the research and development activities of micro gas turbine systems for the next generation are underway in several companies. Moreover, aiming at practical use in 21st century, a national project of development of propulsion systems for ultra supersonic transports are also in progress in Japan by a group of domestic industries with the cooperation of foreign industries.

Under these circumstances, this international congress will be a timely and beneficial event, allowing participating researchers and engineers from all areas of the world to exchange information on the latest research and technical results in gas turbines and turbochargers. Many excellent papers are expected to be submitted, and many participants will be welcomed.

国際ガスタービン会議は1971年に東京で初めて開催され、その後、東京(1977,1983,1987)、横浜(1991,1995)、神戸(1999)において6回開催されました。世界各国から多数の研究者や技術者にご参加いただいて、研究成果や運転実績などのご発表を通じて有意義な情報交換をすることが出来ました。前回は1999年神戸において600名以上の参加者を集め、150件もの研究発表が行わて成功裡に開催されました。
