ASIAN PHYSICS SYMPOSIUM 2009
The 3rd Asian Physics Symposium 
22-23 July 2009, Bandung, Indonesia

Background

Physics is the most fundamental of all the natural sciences, and its applications extend even to other areas of human endeavor. It is the study of the natural world based on quantitative observations and experiments. Physics attempts to discover simple rules by which observations of many different situations can be correlated within a common framework of fundamental ideas. Physical laws and the framework in which they are used have profound influence on how we view our universe and ourselves. The Physics Study Program, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Institut Teknologi Bandung has organized the biannual Asian Physics Symposium since 2005, which is the extension of the annual meeting named Annual Physics Seminar since 2001. Motivated by the encouraging results of and responses to those events, we have decided to continue this meeting this year. To be exact, we are now in the process of preparing the 3rd Asian Physics Symposium (APS 2009) to be held at July 22-23, 2009 in Bandung.

Aims

This meeting is aimed at providing the much needed forum of scientific communication and interaction among distinguished scientists working in the field physics and related fields. In turn, the seminar on the latest research results will present the state-of-the-art development in the field and help to chart our future research directions. This event is also designed to offer the opportunity of making direct contacts for the young Indonesian scientist and students with well-known scientist abroad, and thereby fostering the existing research collaborations and extending international research networking for the future.
