days from November 2 (Mon) to 6 (Fri) at the Aichi International Exhibition Center (Aichi Sky Expo) in Tokoname City, Aichi Prefecture.</p> <p class="mgt_10">The International Rubber Conference (IRC) is intended to gather the world's scientists and engineers dealing with rubber and elastomers and to promote international exchange through presentations and discussions on research findings in this area, from basics to applications. The conference is also aimed at going beyond the field of rubber and elastomers to contribute to the progress and development of science and technology in the broader context. This conference will be the sixth one held in Japan 10 years after the last one, following Tokyo in 1975, Kyoto in 1985, Kobe in 1995, Yokohama in 2005, and Kitakyushu in 2016.</p> <ul class="list_button mgt_30"> <li class=""><a href="general/greeting.html">READ MORE</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </section>  <section class="bg_red"> <div class="section_inner"> <h2>Important dates</h2> <div class="box_important"> <div> <h3 class="tx_28B">Abstract Submission</h3> <ul class="tx_24B"> <li>Early November, 2025</li> <li>Early February, 2026</li> </ul> </div> <div> <h3 class="tx_28B">Early Registration</h3> <ul class="tx_24B"> <li>Early February, 2026</li> <li>Late August, 2026</li> </ul> </div> <div> <h3 class="tx_28B">Registration</h3> <ul class="tx_24B"> <li>Early September, 2026</li> <li>Early November, 2026</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </section>  <section class="bg_light"> <div class="section_inner"> <h2>Venue</h2> <p class="center tx_20B">Aichi International Exhibition Center(Aichi Sky Expo near Nagoya, Japan)</p> <p class="center">5-10-1, Centrair, Tokoname-shi, Aichi, Japan</p> <ul class="list_button mgt_30"> <li class=""><a href="https://www.aichiskyexpo.com/access/?lang=en" target="_blank">VIEW SITE</a></li> </ul> </div> </section>  <section class="bg_green"> <div class="section_inner"> <h2>Exhibition</h2> <p>Rubber & Elastomer Technical Exhibition will be held at the meeting site, during the conference, displaying new materials and products, manufacturing machinery, processing facilities, and testing equipment.
