1St Circular on Asia-Pacific Conference on Condensed Matter Physics 2022 November 21st to 23rd, 2022
We are pleased to invite you to attend Asia-Pacific Condensed Matter Physics Conference 2022(AC2MP2022). The second meeting of this series will be jointly organized by the Division of Condensed Matter Physics (DCMP) and the Institute for Materials Research, Tohoku University.
As the second annual meeting organized by the DCMP, it will represent the entire condensed matter community in the Asian-Oceanic region and contribute to expanding international collaborations. The format of the conference will be hybrid and in-person attendance at the venue at Senai, Japan, is strongly encouraged. Online participation is also possible by considering the current difficulties of oversea travels.
Specialty of Conference
1. 1st In-person regional conference on condensed matter physics
2. Focus sessions on three main topics
Applications of Extreme Conditions for Condensed Matter Physics
Quantum Beam Applications in Condensed Matter Physics
Topology-Related Phenomena in Matters
3. Invited talks by the leading scientists
4. Opportunities for talks of young researchers and financial support for speakers
5. Combination of short oral talks and in-person poster sessions
6. Free participation fee for DCMP members and GIMRT Users(for lunch and mixer of in-person participants, we request actual cost, separately)

First Asia-Pacific IUPAP event on IUPAP 100 anniversary
When IUPAP was founded in 1822, Japan was the only country from the Asia-Pacific region to participate. Today, many countries and regions from Asia participate in IUPAP, but communication in the Asia-Pacific region has not been organized within IUPAP. Many countries do not participate in IUPAP, so they cannot fully contribute to exchanges in the area. The situation in each country is very different, and stimulating the discussion in the Asia-Pacific would help promote mutual understanding and human interaction and hopefully improve the physics research in the area.https://indico.cern.ch/event/1171459/IUPAP Centenary (11th July ~ 13th July)https://indico.ictp.it/event/9874/overview
Application is open until 30 June 2022 (refer to left hand side column, click on "Apply here").There are no registration fees.

Early Career Prizes in Semiconductor Physics awarded by the IUPAP C8 Commission on Semiconductors
Nominations are sought for the Early Career Prizes (previously Young Scientist Prizes) in Semiconductor Physics awarded by the IUPAP C8 Commission on Semiconductors. Two prizes are awarded biennially for outstanding contributions to semiconductor physics and its applications made by early career scientists with a maximum of 8 years of research experience (excluding career interruption) following the award of the PhD. The 8-year restriction will be measured based on the application deadline of Dec. 31, 2021. The prizes will be awarded during the 35 th International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors (ICPS), which is to be held in Sydney, Australia from June 26 to July 1, 2022. The Prizes include commemorative IUPAP medals and 1000 Euros each and invited oral presentations at ICPS 2022.
Nomination procedure (also found at: https://www.iupap.org)
Nominees for the Early Career Prizes must be nominated by a senior member of the research community. Self-nominations are not accepted. A nomination for the prizes must contain the followings.
• A cover letter of not more than 1000 words by the nominator evaluating the nominee’s contributions to semiconductor physics and identifying the specific work to be recognized (up to 4 publications).
• A citation for the prize (not more than 25 words).
• A short CV of the nominee (not more than 3 pages).
• A list of publications.
• Two additional letters of endorsement of the nomination, at least one of which is not from a former supervisor of the nominee.

The 19th Workshop on First-Principles Computational Materials Physics
Date: July 8th (Thur.) - 9th (Fri.), 2021
Venue: Lecture Hall, 4F, Chee-Chun Leung Cosmology Hall, National Taiwan University (NTU)Registration Web page:
https://sites.google.com/phys.ncts.ntu ... 2021workshop/registrationThe 19th Workshop on First-Principles Computational Materials Physics, organized by the Focus Groups on Computational Materials Research (CMR), will be held on July 8th-9th 2021, in the National Center for Theoretical Sciences on the campus of National Taiwan University.The aim of this workshop is to promote interactions and collaborations among local physicists who employ first-principles electronic structure calculations in their research. The program will include invited talks delivered by domestic scholars and contributed talks by postdocs or PhD students.The Program Committee would also like to take this opportunity to identify the community members’ interests and concerns in order to plan fruitful and successful activities in the future. All participants, particularly PhD students and young postdoctoral researchers, are encouraged to share their latest research results.
Thirty-minute reports by faculty members and thirty or fifteen-minute talks by postdocs or PhD students will be scheduled in the program.Please visit the workshop website for the speakers and more updated information.If you would like to contribute a talk in the workshop, please upload your title and email our secretary by June 15 Jean when you register. Due to Covid-19 pandemic, the 19th workshop may be converted to a virtual meeting or postponed.
