SAMCON 2015 will be held at Nagoya Institute of Technology (NIT), Nagoya, Japan. NIT was founded as the first national institution of higher education in central Japan in order to develop the region as Japan’s center of industry.

  Nagoya College of Technology was originally founded in March 1905 as the Nagoya Higher Technical School. Aichi Prefectural College of Technology, established in February 1943. NIT was established in May 1949 as a national university under the program of educational reform after the Second World War, merging the Nagoya College of Technology and the Aichi Prefectural College of Technology. In 2004, concurrent with all national universities in Japan, NIT became a national university corporation and has since been developing under its own leadership.
