-PEFCs for Transportation & Stationary Power Sources-

September 23 (Fri) - 24 (Sat), 2005

Sponsored by University of Yamanashi and Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS)
Co-operated by International Society of Electrochemistry (ISE), Japan Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Demonstration Project (JHFC), Japan Automobile Research Institute (JARI), Engineering Advanced Association of Japan (ENAA), The Electrochemical Society of Japan (ECSJ), Fuel Cell Development Information Center (FCDIC), The Chemical Society of Japan (CSJ), The Society of Polymer Science Japan (SPSJ), Catalysis Society of Japan(CATSJ), Yamanashi Prefecture, Yamanashi Academy of Sciences, and Kofu Chamber of Commerce and Industry

Co-organized by M. Watanabe, S. Gottesfeld, U. Stimming, K. Ota, H. Kim, and H. Nishide

The 4th International Fuel Cell Workshop (IFCW) 2005 was held at Kofu Fujiya Hotel in Yamanashi, Japan, on September 23-24, 2005.

The Workshop consisted of 14 invited lectures by forefront researchers from Japan, Europe and the United States and 57 contributed poster presentations. These papers focused on recent fundamental and applied technologies concerning PEFCs for motor vehicles, on-site cogeneration systems and portable equipments. Exhibitions such as test ride of six FCEVs and a bus, demonstration of PEFCs and DMFCs, and other related products are also included. We believe that the content of this Workshop contribute to R&D in this area.

The number of participants counted ca.250 except press crews. Many participants were from outside Japan (USA, UK, Denmark, France, Korea, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, and Indonesia). During two days, we had intensive and fruitful discussion (about 10 min for each presentation).

Finally, on behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to thank all the participants for taking part in such a great meeting.
