Abstract: A large international conference was organised on 1-5 June in Tokyo during which the main achievements of the well-known Japanese project were presented and demonstrated. The FGCS Project was launched in 1982 for a ten-year period. A specific laboratory, ICOT, was established to carry out the research activities. This laboratory was created with about 40 researchers and now gather about 200, including some foreign visitors. During the 10 last years, ICOT had several collaborations with European research organisations (mainly in UK, Sweden and France), and with some US laboratories.
