Meeting & Events
The JSAP holds two national meetings annually where generally one third of the JSAP members participate. The spring meeting (held in the Tokyo area) usually has about 9000 participants and the autumn meeting (held in other parts of Japan, such as Nagoya and Niigata), approximately 6000. The conventions are held over a period of four days during which about 4000 papers are presented in regular sessions and symposia. In addition to the 15 predetermined lectures and a general lecture, guest lectures (by invitation) and integrated/combined lectures on related fields are also held. In particular, physics and chemistry and related fields are focused upon; an exhibition on instruments and tools used in applied physics is also conducted. The meetings provide a good medium for activities related to the industrial-government-academic complex.
Every year, JSAP organizes or co-organizes (with other academic societies) ten international conferences applied physics and related fields. JSAP members can attend these international conferences at reduced fees.
