The International Symposium on Advances in Abrasive Technology (ISAAT) was first held in Sydney, Australia in 1997.Since 2002, ICAT has been a driving force for the organization of this exciting annual event. This series of symposia has been successfully held in Hong Kong China, UK, Turkey, Russia, US, Japan, Australia, Taiwan, China, Germany, Singapore, Mainland China, Republic of Korea, Sweden and Canada. An emphasis of the ISAAT series is to bring together both academic researchers and industrial practitioners from around the world for the interchange of the latest developments and applications in abrasive technologies. The ISAAT2023 in Taichung, Taiwan will continue to promote the discipline development and research collaboration, and to foster the growth of young engineers and researchers in this field. 

ISAAT Excellent Paper Awards will be selected for 4 or 5 oral presentations. Details will be available on the ICAT website.

* The excellent paper will be transferred or submitted to Journal of the Chinese Society of Mechanical Engineers(SCI).
