228 In order to advance the research activities of users at SPring-8, the SPring-8 Users Society was established in May 1993 in such a way that the users can cooperate in the upgrading, facilitation and promotion of SPring-8 utilization. For the purpose the Users Society is divided into 34 working groups to be able to communicate and exchange information with specialists and with the facility. Projects at the initial stage, which have been carried out for two years, will be completed in March 2008. Renewed programs of these research groups for new projects and relating meeting schedules for two years will be presented in April 2008 to further develop SPring-8 activities. The number of the members in the Society reached 1468 as of April 2008. To promote utilization by the industrial users of SPring-8, the SPring-8 Industrial User Society was established in September 1990, and has been investigating and deliberating the feasibility of making improvement on the SPring-8 utilization system and on SPring-8 utilization by the industry and making recommendations. Eight workshops have been organized on various utilization topics, such as practical catalysis and stress analysis. The activities of this Society have played important roles in promoting communication between industrial uses and JASRI and/or MEXT. The number of companies and corporations joining the Society reached 71 as of April 2008. • SPring-8 Users Society Meeting, January 12-14, 2007 - International Conference Center, Hiroshima • The 11th SPring-8 Symposium, October 29-30, 2007 - Public Relation Center, SPring-8, Hyogo • The 4th Report Meeting on SPring-8 Industrial Application, September 11-12, 2007 - Souhyo Kaikan, Tokyo • Lectures on the Possibility of Industrial Application of SR, November 5, 2007 - Nagoya Bankers Association, Nagoya SPring-8 Users Societies SPring-8 Users Societies Users Meeting Users Meeting 229 The Conferences and Workshops organized/sponsored by SPring-8 (JASRI and RIKEN), including with other organizations, in 2007 are listed below. • The 2nd Medical Biology Workshop, January 25, 2007 - Public Relation Center, SPring-8. • Result Report Symposium of SPring-8 Medical-biology Trial Use in FY2007, January 26, 2007 - Public Relation Center, SPring-8 • The 3rd Nanotechnology Support Project Workshop, February 19, 2007 - Public Relation Center, SPring-8 • The 6th International Conference on Inelastic X-ray Scattering, May 7-11, 2007 - Awaji Yumebutai International Conference Center, Hyogo • International Workshop on Nuclear Resonant Inelastic Scattering International, May 14-15, 2007 - Annex of Material Science Research Facility, SPring-8 • Workshop on Organic and Polymeric Materials Science being led by Female Scientists, The Present and Future for Synchrotron Radiation Utilization, June 1, 2007 - Public Relation Center, SPring-8 • The 1st XFEL Application Workshop, June 7, 2007 - RIKEN Tokyo Office, Tokyo • SPring-8 Workshop on Microstructural Observation of Metals and Steels by Synchrotron X-ray, July 20, 2007 - Campus Innovation Center Tokyo, Tokyo • International Workshop on Infrared Microscopy and Spectroscopy with Accelerator Based Sources (WIRMS2007), September 25-29, 2007 - Awaji Yumebutai International Conference Center, Hyogo • SPring-8 10th Anniversary Symposium, October 20, 2007 - Center for Advanced Science & Technology HYOGO, Hyogo • The 2nd XFEL Symposium, October 20, 2007 - CAST, Hyogo • Three Way Workshop for X-Ray Free Electron Laser, October 21-22, 2007 - SPring-8 Other Activities Other Activities Conferences and Workshops Conferences and Workshops • SPring-8 Open House, April 22, 2007 • The 7th SPring-8 Summer School, July 6-9, 2007 - Auditorium, SPring-8 • The 1st AOFSRR Summer School - Cheiron School 2007, September 10-20 - Public Relation Center, SPring-8
