On behalf of the AAPPS Division of Condensed Matter Physics (DCMP), the Physical Society located in Taipei (TPS), National Dong Hwa University (NDHU) and National Taiwan University (NTU), we are pleased to invite you to attend the Asia-Pacific Condensed Matter Physics Conference 2023 (AC2MP 2023). The AC2MP 2023 is the third meeting of its series and aims to gather experts from the condensed matter physics field and related communities in the Asian-Oceanic region. Through the conference, we hope to foster international collaborations and contribute to the expansion of knowledge in the field. The conference will be held in-person at the venue in Hualien, which is located in eastern Taiwan. Bordered by the Pacific Ocean and close to the Central Mountain Range, Hualien is one of the most scenic areas in Taiwan. We hope this will provide an excellent opportunity for networking and engaging in fruitful discussions with professionals. We sincerely welcome you to join us at the AC2MP 2023. We believe your presence and active participation will enrich the conference and contribute to the promotion of international exchange in condensed matter physics. You can find more information on the conference official website: https://ac2mp2023hualien.ps-taiwan.org/. We look forward to seeing you at the conference. Ying-Jer KaoProfessor/PresidentNational Taiwan University/The Physical Society located in TaipeiChair of the AC2MP 2023 Organizing CommitteeHiroyuki NojiriProfessorInstitute for Materials Research, Tohoku UniversityCo-Chair of the AC2MP 2023 Organizing CommitteeKwang-Yong ChoiProfessorSung Kyun Kwan UniversityCo-Chair of the AC2MP 2023 Organizing Committee

Experiments at the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will offer opportunities for a detailed investigation of hadron structure and QCD dynamics. In particular, they will allow for the determination of the transverse momentum distributions of partons, and the examination of the role played by gluons inside nucleons. This school is dedicated to introducing relevant knowledge, in both theoretical and experimental aspects, of EIC physics. The target audience will be advanced postgraduate students, postdocs and researchers in the field.

We are very pleased to announce that the 28th IUPAP International conference on Statistical Physics, Statphys28 will take place in Tokyo from August 7 to 11, 2023, after a one-year postponement. The community of research scientists in Statistical Physics meets every three years at the STATPHYS Conferences, organized under the sponsorship of the IUPAP. These are the largest general meetings in Statistical Physics ; an occasion when both the latest advances of this science in its traditional domain and the new developing trends in other related fields are examined. However, the whole world is facing a difficult situation, and international travel is restricted due to the COVID-19 crisis. Considering this situation, Statphys28 will be held as a hybrid of an on-site conference at the University of Tokyo and an online conference using a web conference system.The conference will cover a wide range of topics, including traditional aspects of statistical mechanics, non-equilibrium physics, turbulence and nonlinear dynamics, disordered systems and phase transitions, hard and soft condensed matter, as well as modern applications including information theory, quantum systems and mathematics. Statphys international conferences have been held as follows: Buenos Aires (2019), Lyon (2016), Seoul (2013), Cairns (2010), Genova (2007), Bangalore (2004), Cancun (2001), Paris (1998), Xiamen (1995), Berlin (1992), and Rio de Janeiro (1989).Website: https://statphys28.org/index.htmlIn addition to the main event, a series of satellite meetings will be staged in the period preceding and following the conference.Tetsuo Deguchi

Dear Friends and Colleagues,On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we cordially invite you to the International Conference on Strongly Correlated Electron Systems 2023 (SCES 2023), held in Incheon, Korea, from 2nd to 7th July 2023. The SCES 2023 will be an ideal platform where we can freely share and discuss the current status and future directions of scientific and technological achievements in strongly correlated electron systems.In the SCES 2023, we will cover wide-ranging subjects of our field: first and foremost, heavy fermion and the related fields, oxide physics, topological physics, and spin-orbit physics, to name only a few. We will also explore the fast-emerging area of quantum materials and the vast potential they may come to offer.The meeting venue is the city of Incheon, Korea, with the world-class Incheon international airport located half an hour away.You can get to Seoul by an hour trip using superb public transport. Incheon is also a gateway to Korea and the Asian region, most of which can be reached within about two hours of flight. As a metropolitan city with nearly 3 million residents, it offersevery visitor exciting times.We anticipate your kind participation and contributions to continuously strengthening the long and proud tradition of the international, scientific, and multidisciplinary community of SCES.We are looking forward to seeing you in July 2023!Je-Geun Park & Jaejun YuConference Chairs, SCES 2023Website: https://www.sces2023.org/

When IUPAP was founded in 1822, Japan was the only country from the Asia-Pacific region to participate. Today, many countries and regions from Asia participate in IUPAP, but communication in the Asia-Pacific region has not been organized within IUPAP. Many countries do not participate in IUPAP, so they cannot fully contribute to exchanges in the area. The situation in each country is very different, and stimulating the discussion in the Asia-Pacific would help promote mutual understanding and human interaction and hopefully improve the physics research in the area.https://indico.cern.ch/event/1171459/IUPAP Centenary  (11th July ~ 13th July)https://indico.ictp.it/event/9874/overview
Application is open until 30 June 2022 (refer to left hand side column, click on "Apply here").There are no registration fees.
