The International Conference on Non-Destructive Testing for Next Generation 2027 (NDT NEXT 2027) will be held under the theme “Smart and Sustainable Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) through Strategic Synergy.” This conference aims to promote the introduction of cutting-edge technologies in the field of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and foster diverse collaborations to address social challenges. Specifically, it plans to feature joint sessions with various organizations for creating new value; workshops on certification, education, and standardization; international specialized conferences; meetings with overseas organizations and societies; and an exhibition.
Smart
We incorporate the latest technologies into NDT, apply them in real-world settings, and contribute to building a safe and secure society. Our efforts focus on promoting digitalization “including machine learning, generative AI, various digital tools, and the use of robots and drones” as well as automation and labor-saving, while strengthening technology development and the establishment of standards and regulations.
Sustainable
We are committed to maintaining and developing technologies that contribute to social safety and security. Our goal is to create a system that organically and efficiently links activities such as academia, standardization, education, and certification.
Strategic Synergy
As social issues become increasingly complex, many problems cannot be solved by inspection technology alone. We strengthen strategic collaboration across different fields, industries, and countries, while respecting diversity, to steadily advance solutions.
