March 2010
Keisuke MAMADA received in March 2010 his master degree from Tohoku University (Sendai, Japan) from the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering. He also received an award for his good performance in research activity. Keisuke MAMADA worked on the tribological properties of PVA (poly vinyl alcohol) hydrogels for soft tissue biomodelling
2nd ElyT School will held next October in Sendai
In addition, a working meeting helped lay the foundation for our next ELyT School to be held next October in Sendai. The purpose of this school is to demystify Japan in the eyes of our students and show them the value of continuing their studies at Tohoku University, as a dual master's degree or thesis in ElyT lab. The call for nominations will be open soon, and a selection process will be organized.

2nd Ely lab annual workshop held in March 14-16, 2010
Second Annual Seminar of the LIA Ely lab, organized by INSA-Lyon and Ecole Centrale de Lyon was held from 14 to 16 March 2010 in Sévrier the shores of Lake Annecy. It brought together 90 participants including 30 from Japan's Tohoku University in Sendai, colleagues of INSA, ECL, Lyon 1 and ENS-Lyon. The various strands of Engineering worn by Ely lab were discussed during 29 presentations made jointly by a Japanese author and a French author, as well as displaying more than 15 posters.
An atmosphere of friendliness and scientific thinking have combined to wonder for very productive exchanges ... In addition, a special session on the role of free radicals in the most diverse physicochemical mechanisms (tribology, biointeractions, corrosion, radiation effects, etc..) allowed exchanges interesting most of Ely-lab members.
The next annual seminar ElyT will be held in Japan, probably in March 2011.

Welcome to ELyT Lab (Engineering and Science Lyon Tohoku Laboratory)
ELyT Lab is a French-Japanese joint research laboratory, involving the following institutions :
- CNRS French National Center for Scientific Research
- ECL Ecole Centrale de Lyon
- INSA de LYON
- TOHOKU University
The research project consists in 5 main fields of study:
- Biosciences & Engineering (B),
- Durability, Reliability in Energy and Transportation (R),
- Nano & Micro Scale Materials & Devices (M),
- Flow Dynamics, Heat Transfers and Microfluidics (F),
- Tribology (T).
Liaisons offices
Campus Tohoku
Both Tohoku and Lyon have opened Liaison Offices. The aim of these offices is to facilitate :
- exchange of information,
- implementation of joint projects,
- staff exchanges,
- students' mobility,
- links with industries.
On the other hand, the various Liaison Offices which belong to the Tohoku University are organized in network, and have also the purpose to enhance cross-collaborations with very different countries. An annual meeting is organized to define the priority of few actions, involving different teams*.
Thus, it is clear that our liaison office will be efficient tools to facilitate human resource exchanges.
