Dr Jawwad Darr was invited to present a paper at the British Embassy in Japan as part of a week long visit involving a UK delegation of chemists, engineers from UK academia and industry. The "Workshop and Laboratory Tour on Green Sustainable Processing with Supercritical Fluids" was organised by the Research Centre of Supercritical Fluid Technology, Tohoku University with sponsorship by the British Embassy in Tokyo.
The delegation spent a week in Tokyo and Sendai exploring ways in which Japanese researchers and industry can work with their UK counterparts in collaborative research that would otherwise be difficult to achieve in isolation. The delegation was led by Professor Martyn Poliakoff (FRS) of Nottingham University. A network has been established to facilitate further collaboration, called JUICE (Japan-UK Innovation in Chemistry and Engineering).
