Dear Colleagues and Friends,
We cordially invite you all to the 15th Asia Pacific Physics Conference (APPC15) in August 21-26, 2022.
APPC is the series of triennial conferences of the Association of Asia Pacific Physical Societies (AAPPS), covering all areas of physics. APPC15, hosted by the Korean Physical Society (KPS), will provide a forum to share and discuss physics researches and educations, promoting collaborations and friendship in Asia Pacific regions. Scientific programs will consist of plenary talks, invited talks, contributed talks, and poster presentations.
APPC15 will be in a fully online format (except for very few hybrid sessions), considering uncertainties and difficulties of the pandemic situation. We will (1) use the Zoom platform for all talks, providing live talks and live questions and answers, (2) use a metaverse platform for scheduled poster sessions as well as display of the poster presentation and a short explaining video and use of question-and-answer windows in the conference website, and (3) use the same metaverse platform to provide discussion rooms, exhibition rooms, places to have a chat, etc. The time zone of the conference will be the Korea Standard Time, which is GMT+9.
This year, 2022, is the 70th anniversary of KPS, and it is also the Centenary of International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) and the International Year of Basic Sciences for Sustainable Development (IYBSSD 2022). On the occasion of these, a special forum "Global Physics Summit" and a special session "The Role of Physics in the Green Economy" will be on August 22, 2022. The opening session of APPC15, the first Plenary Session on August 22, Global Physics Summit, and The Role of Physics in the Green Economy will be prepared in a hybrid format at the conference headquarter in Seoul.
We really appreciate great support and participation of many colleagues in the Asia Pacific region in preparation of APPC15. Your continued support and participation will make APPC15 a great success. We will make our best effort to have APPC15 smoothly and successfully.
We look forward to your continued support and participation.
Thank you very much.
