Celebrate the 10th!
It is our great honor to welcome you to the 10th World Congress on Particle Technology (WCPT10), to be held in Osaka, Japan, May 11–15, 2026. Since its inception in 1986, WCPT has been held every four years, evolving into the largest global platform for advancing research, innovation, and industrial applications in powder and particle technology.
This landmark 10th edition provides a unique opportunity to reflect on past achievements while pioneering the future of particle science and technology. Embracing the spirit of 温故知新 (Onko Chishin) —"learning from the past to create the future"— WCPT10 will foster knowledge exchange and interdisciplinary collaboration, driving new frontiers in the field.
The congress will feature plenary lectures from world-renowned experts, cutting-edge technical sessions, industrial exhibitions, and networking opportunities. Topics will encompass a wide range of science and engineering applications, including powder processing, pharmaceutical technology, advanced materials, nanotechnology, energy solutions, and sustainability.
WCPT10 invites researchers, engineers, and industry leaders from around the world to contribute, collaborate, and innovate. We look forward to your participation in shaping the future of particle technology at this milestone event.
