Due to large climate changes and health issues related to air pollution, there is an urgent need for us to develop understanding toward complex processes occurring in the atmosphere. Due to multi-disciplinary nature of the problem this requires the specialties of researchers from many different branches of physical chemistry. In this workshop we intend to bring together researchers from different background: experimental as well as theoretical to get a broader view on the research that is really required to tackle the problems in the atmosphere.　We hope to take this opportunity to encourage interested researchers to participate in this workshop.

This is a symposium hosted by the Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences to discuss the latest development in Advanced Materials and Biophysics.

The 2nd Asia-Pacific Symposium on Solid Surfaces and Cross-Strait Symposium on Solid Surfaces will be held in Taipei, Taiwan, at the Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences (IAMS), located on the main campus of National Taiwan University, from November 13 to 16, 2016. This Symposium expands the original Russia-Japan Seminar on Semiconductor Surfaces (1993~2012) into a platform for enhancing the interaction and collaboration among researchers in the Asia-Pacific region working in the fields related to solid surfaces and 2-dimentional systems. The 1st Asia-Pacific Symposium on Solid Surfaces was held in Vladivostok, Russia in September 2014 (http://ntc.dvo.ru/apsss-1/). The Symposium welcomes researchers in the fields such as condensed matter physics and surface physics as well as physics and chemistry of 2-d materials to report their latest achievements in a lively, stimulating, interactive and friendly atmosphere. No registration fee will be charged.

The 2nd Symposium on Frontiers in Bioimaging, organized by the Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences (IAMS), Academia Sinica, will take place on November 10 - 11, 2016. This Symposium brings together scientists and engineers who have investigated biology and medical sciences using imaging-based methods that provide unique information of specificity and spatiotemporal resolution. The imaging techniques include optical microscopy, electron microscopy and magnetic resonance imaging. The subjects of study range from single-molecule biophysics, single-cell dynamics to tissue and whole animal imaging. There will be ample time for discussion about the opportunities and challenges of bioimaging, through which new concepts and integrations can be stimulated.

The Stereodynamics Conference has a history of success, starting from 1986 in Jerusalem (Israel). Then, the conference is held every other year: 1988 in Bad Honnef (Germany), 1990 in Santa Cruz (USA), 1992 in Assisi (Italy), 1994 in Gif sur Yvette (France), 1996 in Bielefeld (Germany), 1998 in Leeds (United Kingdom), 2000 in Escorial (Spain), 2002 in Schoorl (Netherlands), 2004 in Osaka (Japan), 2006 in Arcachon (France), 2008 in Dalian (China), 2010 in San Cruz (USA), 2012 in Paris (France), and 2014 in St. Petersburg (Russia). The 2016 edition of Stereodynamics Conference will be held in Taipei, Taiwan during Nov. 6 to 11. The venue is at the Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences. The conference seeks to unravel the most fundamental, directional aspects of chemical reaction, energy transfer, and photodynamics studied at the molecular level.

The meeting between researchers of many different backgrounds has become very important in the development of multidisciplinary science. Building on the success of the previous workshops held on September 2 2014, and on September 9, 2015, we will hold the third IAMS-YCU Autumn Workshop on Sept 6 2016. We will have graduate students from Department of Materials System Science (chemistry and physics) of Yokohama City University of Japan visit the Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences, Academia Sinica Taiwan to participate in this workshop. In this workshop we will have oral presentations by students and young researchers from both sides, as well as a poster session. With this interaction we hope to exchange research ideas and enrich collaborations. We take this opportunity to encourage interested researchers to participate in this workshop.

This Workshop is the third in series held in Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences, Academia Sinica, to provide a great opportunity to discuss the most relevant issues in new-generation photovoltaics—advanced material designs, new processing methods, device characterization, and large-scale fabrication—and invited several leading researchers to share their scientific views in these aspects. The workshop included five invited lectures, five contributed talks.

Speakers: Dr. Wilson Ho (何文程院士), Imaging Single Molecule Chemistry and Dr. Mei-Yin Chou (周美吟院士), Computational Studies of Nanomaterials in Two Dimensions

In the early 1980s, the founders of the Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences (IAMS), including Prof. Yuan. T. Lee, had the vision to see the great potential of advanced instruments in elucidating the structures of atoms and molecules and the dynamics of the interaction among atoms and molecules. They proposed to establish IAMS in the Academia Sinica. A preparatory office was initiated in 1982. After efforts of more than 10 years, IAMS was formerly inaugurated in 1995 as a full-fledged Institute in the Academia Sinica. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of IAMS, a symposium focused on the field of reaction dynamics is being organized. About 10 international and 10 domestic invited speakers will present their newest works. There will also be a poster session and other activities. We expect sharing of new advances in the field, intense and warm discussion, and possibility of future collaboration in this symposium.

International Symposium on Frontiers in Bioimaging will be held at the Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences (IAMS), Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan on October 26 and 27, 2015. This symposium is part of the celebration of the 20th anniversary of IAMS. In the Symposium, we will have prestigious scientists and researchers presenting their recent work about investigating biology and medical sciences using novel imaging techniques. Topics include understanding structures and functions of biomolecules at the molecular scale by using cutting-edge electron microscopy and super-resolution optical microscopy, development and application of advanced labels and nanoprobes for imaging and sensing, revealing rapid dynamics in biosystems by high-speed three-dimensional optical microscopy, and also studying biomedical sciences by state-of-the-art MRI techniques. There will be a poster session on October 26, and we encourage you to submit an abstract of your research results. “Best Poster Award” will be attributed to the best posters presented. Poster submission and registration of the Symposium are free.

The multidisciplinary nature of science has made it important for researchers of many different backgrounds to meet and discuss research ideas. Building on the success of the previous workshop held on September 2 2014, we will hold the second IAMS-YCU Autumn Workshop on September 9, 2015. We will have graduate students from Department of Materials System Science (chemistry and physics) of Yokohama City University of Japan visit the Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences, Academia Sinica Taiwan to participate in this workshop. In this workshop we will have oral presentations by students and young researchers from both sides, as well as a poster session. With this interaction we hope to exchange research ideas and enrich collaborations. We take this opportunity to encourage interested researchers to participate in this workshop.
