中央研究院 原子與分子科學研究所

Established in 1996, the Asian Photochemistry Conference (APC) aims to provide scientists a major forum to discuss their latest developments in fundamental and applied photochemistry and related research areas. The APC has been successfully held in various countries including Australia, China, India, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Singapore, and Taiwan. The 10th Asian Photochemistry Conference (APC 2018) is organized by Academia Sinica and National Taiwan University. The Organizing Committee welcomes you to participate in APC 2018 to be held in the Howard Civil Service International House, Taipei, Taiwan on 16-20 December, 2018.

今年(2018)是中央研究院90周年慶，院方舉辦許多慶祝活動，其中科學及人文前瞻論壇是由院內多個研究所針對不同主題邀請國內外傑出年輕學者舉辦的一系列論壇活動，希望能放眼本院未來10年的學術發展，為本院人文與科學典範的傳承，標誌出承先啟後的格局與意義。鑒於量子科學與技術領域近年來的蓬勃發展，原分所很榮幸邀請到在量子氣體研究卓越的金政教授，以及在量子資訊與量子計算研究卓越的謝明修教授，除講述他們個人的精彩研究外，也藉由他們在相關領域所具備的宏觀學術視野，展望該領域在未來十年的發展。在他們的演講後，我們將舉辦一場座談會，歡迎對這些主題有興趣的學者及學生參與，分享與交流對這個領域各種不同面向的看法與展望。

Building on last year's success, we will be hosting the Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences (IAMS) Young Fellow Research Presentation on Nov 1-2, 2018, at Poe Lecture hall. IAMS is supported by ~50 post-doctoral fellows, ~100 students, and ~50 research assistants. There is many excellent research done in IAMS which should be attributed to these supporting cast in the labs. In this presentation contest, we would like to give these young fellows a chance to tell us what they have done and what they want to do. We hope to take this opportunity to encourage interested researchers to participate in this workshop and learn the wide range of research done in IAMS by our young fellows.

We welcome you to the 3rd Asia Conference on Thermoelectrics (3rd ACT) and the 5th Micro & Nanoscale Heat Transfer and Energy Workshop (MNHTE2018), holding together at Institute of Atomic and Molecular Science of Academia Sinica, in the campus of National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan. The 3rd ACT, following its predecessors in Wuhan (China) and Kyoto (Japan), will provide a platform for researchers interested in various topics of thermoelectric materials to exchange their latest works. We especially welcome participants from our neighborhoods to visit us, find more common interests, and establish more collaborations in the future. The MNHTE2018 will cover frontier topics of heat/energy transfer phenomena of novel materials by advanced tools or novel methods. The workshop aims at bringing together researchers in Taiwan and sharing their works with international scholars. Because heat transfer phenomena are of fundamental importance in improving thermoelectric properties, we believe that it will be highly beneficial to bring researchers from the two conferences together. The 3rd ACT and MNHTE2018 will have tutorials on Oct 7, followed by two-days conferences on Oct 8~9, at the campus of National Taiwan University. The conference is organized by Academia Sinica and National Taiwan University. We look forward to your visit and your enthusiastic participation.

The 2018 annual Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics Summer School will be held at Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences, Academia Sinica, Taipei between 8/28 ~ 8/31. We invite domestic and international researchers to give lectures on related topics including atomic quantum gases, quantum optics, quantum information, and precision spectroscopy. This is a great opportunity for graduate students and junior scholars to learn about the cutting-edge researches and latest development in this sub-field, as well as for all participants to share their research experiences and exchange research ideas.

This Workshop is the fifth in series held in Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences, Academia Sinica, to provide a great opportunity to discuss the emerging issues in new-generation photovoltaics: advanced material designs, new processing methods, device characterization, and large-scale fabrication. Internationally leading photovoltaics researchers in organic polymers, inorganic chalcogenides, and organic-inorganic perovskites are invited to share their scientific views in these aspects. Furthermore, our domestic researchers will also present their recent research outcomes in the Workshop.

In this workshop, we will have general lecture talks to learn available computational methods, as well as having presentation opportunities for the young generation postdoctoral fellows and students. We hope this will help in the discussion of the theoretical and computational studies that are performed in the three countries. By detailed exchange of information, we hope that this type of interaction will lead to fruitful collaborations in the future. We invite motivated research with broad background performing theoretical studies such as biomedical applications, catalysis studies, reaction dynamics, nanomaterials, molecular dynamics simulations and quantum chemistry program developments.

鑒於氣候變遷與環境永續議題日益迫切，永續能源的開發成為當今科學界的重要議題。科技部與中研院共同主辦本次「永續能源的關鍵技術」的研討會，邀請國內外講師針對能源規劃、永續能源等最新的進展作最新的報告，並邀請廠商針對太陽能、風能、氫能與儲能等議題做實際參觀與展示，以期對永續能源的關鍵技術有最新的認識。

近年來，胞外體的研究進入到各個領域，舉凡疾病分子標誌，治療，藥物反應，藥物傳遞，發育等等。為了推廣和促進國內在胞外體的研究和產業發展，籌組了台灣胞外體學會，並將於一月19日假中研院原分所浦大邦講堂舉行成立大會。 同時，我們也邀請了日本癌症研究中心也是日本胞外體學會會長 落谷孝広 教授，韓國胞外體學會暨POSTECH 的 Yong Song Gho 教授， 國立成功大學 湯銘哲老師，國立清華大學 陳致貞老師以及中研院賴品光助研究員共同進行 Exosomes & Extracellular Vesicles 的國際研討會，針對胞外體的分離、純化、影像、內含物分析及功能等進行精闢的演講分享和討論。 我們相信也會持續堅持將台灣學術界與世界接軌和交流，將可促進國內科學研究的內涵以及高度。但是更需要的是您的支持和參與。
