The East Asian Weed Science Congressin Commemoration of 30th

Anniversary of KSWSThe Korean Society of Weed Science hosts an International Weed ScienceCongress named “The East Asian Weed Science Congress” in commemoration ofthher 30 anniversary. The Congress will focus on the most common and important
topics in the East Asian countries, i.e., herbicide resistance, integrated weedmanagement, and new technology in weed science. Key weed scientists invited from
China, Japan and Korea will give invaluable speeches. We also encourage
presentation of scientific papers in oral and poster sessions.
Jeju, where the Congress will be held, is the most prestigious exotic island and thefirst tourist attraction in Korea. Jeju is a volcanic island, 130 km from the southerncoast of Korea. The largest island and smallest province in Korea, the island has asurface area of 1,846 km2. A central feature of Jeju is Hallasan, the tallest mountainin South Korea and a dormant volcano, which rises 1,950 m above sea level. Three
hundred sixty satellite volcanoes are around the main volcano. Its unique and wellreserved nature has made Jeju selected as Biosphere Reserve in 2002, World
Natural Heritage in 2007 and Global Geo-park in 2010. Jeju is now nominated as
one of the final candidates of the New 7Wonders of Nature (seehttp://www.new7wonders.com/). Visa is exempted for visitors from other countries as
Jeju is only one special self-governing province in Korea. Therefore, Jeju welcomes
all the participants from overseas and will provide comfortable stay with
