HOME >Major Meeting and Activities
 

We hold annual meeting every autumn, mainly in locations of domestic paper manufacturing mills. At annual meeting such events are carried out as awarding ceremony, lecture meeting on introduction in addition to each paper maker operation experience, new technologies and products, briefing session on paper related maker products, and exhibition or mill visit on such as individual equipment
and materials. For several years, annual meetings have been held in Morioka, Sendai, Yonago, Shizuoka, Hiroshima and Sapporo sequentially. Participants have increased gradually year after year, lately, which turned out to be the successful meeting brought on the scale of 1200 members or more.

1. Pulp and Paper Research Conference
Annually we host "Pulp and Paper Research Conference" as presentation meeting for research achievement results in the field of pulp and paper and related. We provide opportunities to exchange and share mutual information through theirresearch presentations by the members from industry, government and academia.
2. Pulp and Paper Process Control and Automation Symposium with Exhibition
Annually we host "Pulp and Paper Process Control and Automation Symposium"
with Exhibition (Instrumentation Show) to promote exchange of technology mainly for
instrumentation experts of paper manufacturer and engineers of instrumentation equipment
manufacturer.
3. Basics of Process Control and Automation in the Pulp and Paper Industry
Aiming at desirable technical level, for instrumentation experts with 1 or 2 year
experience we provide a basic course annually.
4. Environment Conference
Annually mainly on the environmental problems of paper manufacturing industry and related industries, we host such as environmental conference and round-tablediscussion, and contribute to the environmental improvement. Usually we hold it inJune which is the environmental month.
5. Papermaking Conference
Annually in autumn we host a seminar on papermaking technologies including
lectures on operational techniques by paper manufacturing companies. Also these seminars include an introduction of new technologies and products supplied bypulp and paper-related companies and promote exchange of technology.
6. Pulping Conference
Annually we host a seminar on pulp manufacturing know-how every February or March.
7. Energy Management Conference
Annually we host a seminar which includes the situations of energy supply and consumption in pulp and paper industry, new energy development and case reports on operational experience in energy saving.
8. Holding of Various Lectures and Symposia
Other than the above-mentioned, mainly by each committee we host various
lectures and symposia.
9. Cosponsor and Cooperation of Various Lectures and Symposia
On JAPAN TAPPI JOURNAL, we introduce lectures and symposia cosponsored or
cooperated with various bodies'.
1. As one of annual meeting events, we execute excursions to factories, paper mills,
plants, and business offices.
2. We often conduct excursions by each committee sponsorship.
We cosponsor or cooperate technical conferences with overseas related bodies,
and provide a greater dimension of convenience for Japanese member's participation.
1. Pacific Rim Pulp and Paper Technical Conference
(Pan-Pacific Conference)
  We have been held pulp and paper technical exchange conference every other year between Japan and Canada since 1976. Australia and New Zealand (Appita) joined in 1983. In 1992, the 1st conference as Pacific Rim Pulp and Paper Technical Conference (Pan-Pacific Conference) was held in Tokyo with US TAPPI's participation. Then, in 2000, newly South Korea (Korea TAPPI) and
Taiwan (Taiwan TAPPI) have joined, after that Philippine (TAPPIP) also joined.
According to next schedule, the conference will be held in South Korea in 2006.
2. International Symposium on Wood, Fiber and Pulping Chemistry (ISWFPC)
ISWFPC is the international convention which world-wide researchers majoring in wood chemistry gather every other year, and the 13th one will be held in
Auckland (New Zealand) in May 2005.
3. Exchange of overseas organization
Exchanging of organization journals with overseas bodies related to pulp and paper technologies, we mutually implement exchange and dispatch of representatives to the annual convention or various international conferences and so on.
Paper industry has been developed up-to worldwide level and many technical
developments have been contributed in the past. However, it is urgent for the
industry to preserve and collect them for further development. By this reason,
JAPAN TAPPI takes an action toward the following 2 purposes.
1. To collect and preserve materials related to paper industry technical progress,
and aim at its systematization.
2. To send out signals of preserved and collected materials as information, and
contribute to the next generation technical progress.
Target should be technical record, products sample, and facilities between 1945
and 1990. In 2002 and 2003, survey sheets were sent to many companies in the
industry. In the result we made database of actual storage condition and so on.
After that, based on the result, we are scheduled to proceed preservation of
important technical heritages, significant technical systematization, and sending
out signals as information
