Greetings to all who are visiting the 7th Asia-Pacific Symposium on RadioChemistry (APSORC25) website

Thank you for visiting our website. We sincerely invite you to participate in this conference, which will be held from September 14 to 19 this year. We, the Japanese researchers in the field of radiochemistry, have been hosting this conference since 1997 with the aim of fostering academic exchange with researchers in the same field from countries across the Asia-Pacific region. Since then, we have continued to hold the conference every four years in collaboration with our colleagues from China, South Korea, and the United States. However, unfortunately, due to the global pandemic that has led to isolation and division, we were forced to cancel the meeting scheduled for 2022 in Japan. This meeting aims to revive the series. Today, the world is facing division and conflict due to the COVID-19 pandemic, conflicts, and wars. At the same time, we are also faced with urgent issues such as global environmental problems and energy and food issues that are essential for the sustainable development of human society. In such times, what is required of us as researchers is to strengthen and enhance our academic fields through academic exchange, to ease international tensions through human interaction, to strive to give back our achievements to society, and to guide division and conflict toward harmony. We aim to take a small step toward this grand goal by making this conference, APSORC25, a success.

To the participants from Japan, perhaps because our country has long been isolated, we tend to be “Galapagosized,” or closed off, as is often said about mobile phones. Let us share our latest research findings directly with the world.

To the participants from overseas, please share with us, Japanese researchers, and researchers from other countries, the latest knowledge and achievements from your countries and regions.

While each presentation may be small, let us compile them into a larger flow. We sincerely hope for the development of each one of your research efforts, as well as the further advancement and sustainability of radiochemistry and related study fields. We look forward to your participation.

See you in Matsue in September!!
