Call for participation in the APA Tutorial on Advances inPhotosciences
The APA Tutorial on Advances in Photosciences (APA-TAP) is an initiative of the Asian and OceanianPhotochemistry Association (APA), in collaboration with the local organizers of Asian Photochemistry
Conference, to introduce the basic principles and concepts of photochemistry, photophysics andphotobiology to the young graduate students and post-doctoral researchers. The 1st APA-TAP will beheld on December 16, 2018 in conjunction with the 10th Asian Photochemistry Conference at Taipie,
Taiwan during December 16-20, 2018 (http://apc2018.conf.tw). The tutorial-style lectures in the APATAP will be delivered by world distinguished scientists.

This session of the APA-TAP is fully sponsored by the following two companies:
Hamamatsu Photonics, K. K.
Edinburgh Instruments, Ltd

Date: Dec. 16, 2018, 9:00 AM - 6:30 PM
Tentative Program: see attached sheet

Meal: Lunch-meal is included in the registration
Pre-registration: The session is limited to students who make “pre-registration” and are“nominated”.
Scholarship: A limited number of students (max. 20) will receive USD600 sponsored byHamamatsu Photonics and Edinburgh Instruments to support their registration fee,travel and accommodation expenses. The support will be disbursed at the conference
desk. Students who receive these scholarships are named APA-Hamamatsu
Photonics Sponsored Scholars or APA-Edinburgh Instruments Sponsored Scholars.
Students or young researchers/faculty members who wish to attend the event but
do not receive support will be required to register as APC participants. The event
is free for them to attend upon filling the pre-registration form for APA-TAP.
