GREETINGS FROM THE CHAIR
The 2nd Asia-Oceania International Congress on Photosynthesis (2nd AOICP) is held in Kobe
Fashion Mart from 18, September (Wednesday) to 21, September (Saturday), 2024. It is ourgreat pleasure to invite all of you to participate and present your latest research results in thisexciting congress.
Photosynthesis research is becoming increasingly important in the era of climate change, as
our modern life depends on photosynthesis in terms of food, oxygen and fossil fuels, andresearches into the mechanisms of photosynthesis may provide important clues to mitigate theimpact of climate change. Thus, it is important to bring active researchers and students together
to discuss the current status and future perspectives in the field of photosynthesis research, andthis congress will provide an excellent opportunity for such discussions.
This congress is the second in the series. The first one is held in 2018 in Beijing, China,
following the decision of The International Society of Photosynthesis Research that theInternational Congress on Photosynthesis Research will be held every four years, and theGordon Research Conference on Photosynthesis will be held every two years in the years
different from the International Congress. This means that there will be a vacant year in every
four years, and the International Society of Photosynthesis Research decided to held regional
congresses in this vacant year. Due to the effect of COVID-19, this congress has been
postponed; however, in 2024, the congress is finally held face-to-face in Japan. It is our hopethat all of you will attend the congress, and join the discussions, exchange your ideas withcolleagues from various countries, and enjoy the beautiful city and foods of Kobe and the
traditional culture of Japan.
This congress is hosted by the Japanese Society of Photosynthesis Research, with the help of
a number of parties listed in the web page. I would like to take this opportunity to thank allthese parties for their supports.

With warmest regards,
Jian-Ren Shen
Chair of the 2nd AOICP
