Chair, Local Organizing Committee, AAPPS-DPP2026
It is a great honor for me, on behalf of the Local Organizing Committee, to welcome our colleagues and friends to the 10th Asia-Pacific Conference on Plasma Physics (AAPPS-DPP2026).
The conference will take place in Busan, Korea, from October 11 to 16, 2026, and we are delighted to host the community in an entirely in-person format.
AAPPS-DPP has steadily evolved into one of the most significant gatherings for the plasma physics community across the Asia-Pacific region.
Each year, the conference brings together researchers at every career stage to exchange scientific insights, explore new directions, and strengthen collaborative networks.
We are proud to contribute to this tradition by organizing the 2026 meeting.
This year’s conference in Busan will provide an excellent environment for direct interaction - an element that greatly enriches scientific
discussion. By bringing participants together at a single venue, we hope to encourage lively conversations, foster fresh collaborations, and create opportunities
for interdisciplinary engagement.
Busan offers an inspiring setting for such an event. As Korea’s leading port city, it combines natural beauty, cultural diversity, and a welcoming atmosphere.
The venue has been selected to ensure that participants can enjoy both convenient access and a comfortable academic environment suitable for an extensive program of plenary lectures,
invited talks, contributed papers, and poster sessions.
The Local Organizing Committee is committed to supporting all attendees so that they may fully engage in the scientific and social aspects of the conference.
We trust that your participation in AAPPS-DPP2026 will be both rewarding and memorable, and that new ideas, partnerships, and friendships will emerge over the course of the week.
We sincerely look forward to greeting you in Busan and sharing an exciting and productive conference together.
