First Circular
3rd Asian Silicon Symposium
October 18-19, 2010
Hangzhou, China
Invitation
The Asian Silicon Symposium (ASiS) held in Asian every two years presents the forum at which all aspects of silicon chemistry are discussed by scientists, researchers, academics, professionals and students working in the field of silicon chemistry. The 1st and 2nd ASiS were successfully held at the foot of Mt. Zao in Miyagi, Japan in 2007 and at Jeju, Korea in 2008.
The 3rd ASiS, whose main theme is “The Beauty and Mission of Organosilicon Chemistry in the 21 Century,” will be held at Hangzhou Huagang HNA Resort in Hangzhou, China on October 18-19, 2010. The aim of this conference is to bring together silicon chemistry practitioners to exchange the latest research results and technological developments in the field of silicon chemistry. Through this exchange, it is hoped that participants will gain better insights into the world of silicon chemistry. Come, join us, and meet old friends and make new acquaintances in the 3rd ASiS!
General Information
Hangzhou is one of the important tourist cities in China, famous for its natural beauty and historical and cultural heritages. As the capital of Zhejiang province, Hangzhou is the political, economic and cultural center of the province as well. Hangzhou is located in the Yangzi Delta area on the low reaches of Qiantang River in southeast China, with a distance of 180 kilometers to Shanghai.
