ASAM3 Invitation We cordially invite you to attend

ASAM-3 Invitation We cordially invite you to attend the “ 3 rd Asian Symposium on Advanced Materials: Chemistry & Physics of Functional Materials” (ASAM-3), which will be organized by Kyushu University in Fukuoka, Japan on September 19 -22, 2011. This symposium is intended as a forum for interdisciplinary discussion between scientists from Asian universities, research institutions and companies on chemistry, physics and biology of advanced materials that can serve for improving and developing of chemical engineering and nanotechnology, microelectronics, and optics, environmental, and biomedical technologies that in their turn increase the quality and make human life healthy and comfortable. The 1 st ASAM was organized by Institute of Chemistry of Far East Department of Russian Academy of Sciences and Far East National University in 2007, Vladivostok, Russia. The 2 nd ASAM was organized by Fudan University in Shanghai in 2009. Many famous scientists from Asian countries attended these interesting symposiums. Because of their success, the participants decided that it would be reasonable to continue this scientific forum. The symposium program will include plenary lectures (50 min), invited lectures (30 min), and oral presentations (15 min) as well as poster session. We would greatly appreciate if you kindly accept our invitation to attend the symposium. Young researchers’ award is open to oral/poster presenters under 35 years of age. ASAM-3 Second Circular & Call for Papers Location Fukuoka is the closest city in Japan to East Asia, and is renowned for its rich natural environment and openmindedness. The city has developed through exchanges with the rest of Asia for two thousands years and has long cultivated the spirit of hospitality. The population of the city continues to grow, reaching an estimated 1. 45 million people.
