Thank you for joining the YRM. Let us keep in touch. See you in Beijing!

We had more than 70 applications and nearly 70 participants from 17 countries! For this international group of colleagues, we planned an excursion to the imperial palace (a special reserved tour), stimulating networking activities, and a dinner party at the Kyoto International Community House. The Young Researchers Meeting (YRM) is an event devoted to the casual interchange of research and ideas in thermal science and engineering, and aims to expand the international networks of young researchers who have gathered from all over the world to participate in IHTC-15. Let us enjoy the time visiting he Imperial Palace, and have a nice talk and discussion with the wonderful meal and drinks.
