Welcome Address

   On behalf of the international organizing committee of the 3rd Asian Applied Physics Conference (Asian-APC), I would like to extend our cordial welcome and appreciation to all the participants in this conference.

   This conference started as an international session of annual meeting of the Kyushu Chapter, Japan Society of Applied Physics (JSAP) in 2014 in collaboration with Korean Physical Society, Busan-Ulsan-Kyungnam Branch and Applied Physics Division. From 2016, we upgraded the international session as the Asian Applied Physics Conference (Asian-APC) inviting researchers from Asian countries. The numbers of presentations in the international session has increased steadily, starting 4 at Ohita in 2014, 28 at Okinawa in 2015, 45 at Tsushima in 2016 and 54 at Miyazaki last year. About 40 % of the total presentations of the annual meeting of JSAP Kyushu Chapter are now presented at the Asian-APC. To take one step further, we started to publish proceedings of the Asian-APC as a special issue of Journal of Physics: Conference Series (JPSC) by IOP publishing, which is an open access journal indexed in Scopus. We believe that this would give a good opportunity especially for students and young researchers to publish their research results internationally.

Purpose of this conference is to provide an opportunity to the students and young researchers for making exchange their ideas and have an experience for communicating with foreign counterparts in broad research areas. We believe that such experience is inevitable for students. It would be also a very good opportunity for regular members to form an international network among Asia.

I hope we can provide a good opportunity through this conference enabling in-depth technical discussion, exchange of knowledge and friendship in order to make strengthen the cooperation among our Asian applied physics community. Please also enjoy beautiful nature and rich culture at Fukuoka well-known as a gateway city from ancient times.

In closing, I would like to thank to the committee members and sponsors for their great support.

Sincerely yours,
