Dear Colleagues
The 22nd International Conference on Recent Progress in Many-Body Theories(RPMBT22) will be held from 23 to 27 September 2024, in Tsukuba, Japan. A series of theconferences offers an ideal opportunity to recognize important achievements and to showcase
significant new results in various aspects of many-body physics.

Scientific Program includeslComputational quantum many-body physicslCondensed matter physicslNon-equilibrium many-body phenomenalNuclear and subnuclear physicslQuantum chemistry, atomic and molecular physicslQuantum fluids and ultracold gaseslQuantum information and computationlOther topics in new frontiers

During the conference, we will organize a session devoted to twoawards, Feenberg Memorial Medal and Hermann Kümmel Early

Achievement Award. The Feenberg Medal is awarded for work that isfirmly established and that can be demonstrated to have significantly
advanced the field of many-body physics, while the Kümmel Award aims
to encourage and reward young excellence in the fieldof quantum many-body theory. The both awardees, who will be announced
in June-July 2024 by the selection committee, are supposed to givepresentations.

Conference Venue
The conference will be held in Kasuga Auditorium (春⽇講堂) in University of Tsukuba,Tsukuba City, Japan. The venue is conveniently located within walking distance from Tsukuba
station of Tsukuba Express (TX) Line and from Tsukuba Center bus terminal.

Abstract Submission (Deadline: June 1st, 2024)
We now call for the abstract submission for both oral and poster presentations in theconference. The deadline for the abstract submission is June 1st, 2024. Decision of acceptanceof oral/poster presentations will be made by the Committee upon evaluation of the submitted
abstracts by the beginning of July. Each participant can submit only one abstract as a speakerof the oral presentation, however, is allowed to submit more than one abstract for the posterpresentation.
The abstract can be either prepared as a PDF file of one-page format (A4 or letter size), ordirectly written on the web site. To submit the abstract, you must first create an indico account.
Please go to “Call for Abstracts” in the left menu of the page and follow the instruction.

Registration
The registration will open soon. We are trying to minimize the registration fee of theconference, most probably about 30,000 JPY, which is roughly equal to 200 USD. We alsoplan to have a discount fee for students. Details will be announced in near future.

Financial support for young researchers
The RPMBT22 is planning to provide a limited amount of financial assistance to support
participation of young researchers including students. This financial assistance may beoffered for those who submit the abstract and present their works in the conference. Details
will be given later.

Travel InformationTsukuba station (Tsukuba Center) is easily accessed by two major Tokyo international airports,
Narita and Haneda airports. Unfortunately, the airport buses are significantly reduced since
the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, six limousine buses daily run to Tsukuba Center from
Narita airport, and only two services from Haneda. We hope to have more services in
September 2024. There is also a small international airport nearby, Ibaraki airport, however,the limousine bus sevices between Ibaraki airport and Tsukuba city are not available since theCOVID-19 pandemic. Thus, we do not recommend the participants to use Ibaraki airport,
especially for overseas participants. You may find more details on our web site, from “Travelto Tsukuba” from the left menu.
From Akihabara station in Tokyo, “Rapid” trains (TX Line) reach Tsukuba station in 45
minutes and “Local” trains take1 hour. From Aasakusa station, it takes 40 minutes to Tsukuba.
There are direct highway buses from Yaesu ( ⼋ 重 洲 ) bus terminal of Tokyo station,
approximately every 30 minutes, which takes 70-100 minutes.

Accommodation
We have special rates for the participants in the following hotels:lHotel Nikko TsukubalHotel JAL City Tsukuba

Several other hotels are available around Tsukuba station. Those on the map below are locatedwithin the walking distance (less than about 30 minutes). The list of those suggested hotels isgiven on the web. Go to “Accommodation” from the left menu and follow the instruction.
