It is our pleasure to announce that we are organizing a workshop
entitled "East-Asia AGN Workshop 2013" on 20th-23rd August 2013
in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. This is the second opportunity for
East Asian collaborations in the AGN field. The first
workshop, held in September 2012 at Jeju island, South Korea, was
very successful with ~ 40 participants from China, Korea, and Japan.
The workshop provided a stimulating forum for presenting and
discussing new results and ideas on various topics related to AGN
research, ranging from black holes, AGN physics, evolution, to AGN
surveys, etc.
This series of meetings is aimed at fostering close collaborations
among AGN researchers in East Asian countries. Thanks to the short
distances between countries in East Asia among these countries, there
are promising possibilities of fruitful collaborations. Fostering
these collaborative activities at the current stage is extremely
important as we enter the era of large international projects, including
TMT and GMT. Based on feedback from the
participants of the previous Jeju workshop, this workshop will put
special emphasis on initiating collaborative work. For this
purpose, this workshop consists of a "conference" part in the 1st
half and a "working time" part in the 2nd half. Note that you do
not have to attend both parts; you can attend only the 1st part, or
only the 2nd part, or both, depending on your interests and schedule.
We will limit the number of participants to ~ 50 to ensure close
interaction among participants. Further details will be
announced in the 2nd circular that will be distributed later.
The conference will be held in the center of Sapporo, the biggest
city on the Hokkaido island in Japan. As you may know, the high summer
temperatures and humidity in Japan are somewhat tough to endure ---
except for Hokkaido. Hokkaido is a nice comfortable urban city,
and many tourists visit Sapporo to enjoy the cooler climate of Hokkaido.
