April is a quite beautiful month, the cherry blossoms any corner in Japan. We could have gathered together to exchange academics and enjoy the beautiful cherry blossom. But due to the sudden worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 , for all participants' safety, ICMEM 2020 was held through online platform finally. With their understanding and support, our conference was successfully held. 

***Now, it's my great honor to behalf of our Conference Committee to announce that The 5th International Conference on Material Engineering and Manufacturing (ICMEM 2021) will be held in Chiba University, Chiba, Japan during April 16-19, 2021. Chiba University was founded in 1949. To learn more details about it, please go to: http://www.chiba-u.ac.jp/e/

***ICMEM conference has been successfully held in past four years. Participants had wonderful experience. Each year, the publication and index history were very good. The accepted and registered papers of ICMEM 2019 & ICMEM 2018 were published into the Materials Science Forum(MSF) that was Indexed by Ei Compendex & Scopus. And ICMEM 2017 papers were published in IOP Conference Series that also was Indexed by Ei Compendex & Scopus. To get more history details, please visit: http://icmem.org/2020.html#

***ICMEM 2021 aims at providing a platform to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results on all aspects of Materials Engineering and Manufacturing. We will always try our best to,provide a high-quality platform for all of you. Hope all of you can communicate thoughts face to face and have a good harvest  during the conference. 

We welcome you to submit your paper and abstract to our ICMEM 2021. We look forward to meeting you in Tokyo. May we have the chance to enjoy the beautiful cherry blossom together rather than just let it blooms lonely. Hope the COVID-19 will get better and end on everywhere soonest. Hope all of you can take care of yourself and your loved ones & keep healthy during this special period.
