１．Planning and holding workshops, seminars, research
２．Publication of academic journals and academic books
３．Conducting research and surveys
４．Promotion of research and recognition of research achievements
５．Liaison and cooperation with related academic societies in Japan and overseas
６．Other projects necessary to achieve the objectives, and is mainly implemented as follows.
| 1. | Publication of "Journal of the Japan Fluid Power System Society" (free distribution) Published bi-monthly (odd-numbered months) and "Shady nook special issue" (August issue), seven times a year. |
|
| 2. | Publication of "Transactions of the Japan Fluid Power System Society" | |
| 3. | Proceedings of research meetings Issued twice a year every spring and autumn Teaching materials for workshops and seminars are issued each time |
|
| 4. | Other publications - Issuance of hydraulic and pneumatic handbook - Publication of academic books for specific themes - Publication of hydraulic and pneumatic technical documents |
| 1. | Research meeting Fluid Power System Meetings are held every spring (Tokyo) and autumn (Osaka and others) to present and discuss members' research results. You can hear the latest trends and opinions. (Proceedings of research meeting are published) |
|
| 2. | Symposium The purpose is to give lectures and discussions on a specific theme. International symposiums are held every three years. |
|
| 3. | Seminar We hold a summer hydraulic and pneumatic seminar. This is focusing on technologies related to hydraulic and pneumatic technology, and is intended for hydraulic and pneumatic engineers. |
|
| 4. | Training session In order to improve the expertise and related knowledge of members, we select technical issues as themes and ask experts from those fields to give lecturers. (It is held at least twice a year.) |
|
| 5. | Tour Tours of factories, research institutes, etc. for the purpose of spreading members' views. |
