On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is my great honor to invite you to The 6th Federation of Asian Polymer Societies International Polymer Congress (FAPS PC), which will be held at the Howard Civil International House, Taipei, Taiwan. With the theme of “Polymers for Cutting-edge Technological Innovations”, this conference is organized by FAPS and The Polymer Society, Taipei. FAPS was established in 2008 with four founding member societies of China, India, Japan, and Korea, and to date, the FAPS federation has grown to include 15 member societies from all over Asia. FAPS PC is a biennial scientific meeting that gathers the polymer researchers from around the world to discuss the recent advances and explore the future trends in polymer science and technologies. The first FAPS PC was held in Nagoya, Japan in 2009. This was followed by the 2nd meeting in Beijing, China in 2011, the 3rd in Bangalore, India in 2013, the 4th in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 2015, and the 5th in Jeju, Korea in 2017. The Polymer Society, Taipei is proud to host this international meeting at Taipei in 2019.
The scientific program of FAPS 2019 will feature 4~5 plenary and more than 50 invited lectures as well as contributed oral and poster presentations associated with the seven symposia covering nearly all aspects of polymer science and technology. The scientific program will foster discussions and inspire participants from a wide variety of areas to initiate collaborations within and across disciplines for the advancement of polymer science and engineering. I am confident that all participants will benefit a great deal from this exciting congress.
The congress will be held in Taipei. Located in the northern part of Taiwan, Taipei is a city of tradition and modern. As one of the safest cities in the world, Taipei has experienced the most dynamic economic activities. You can see the skyscrapers, 101 tower, department store district, National Palace Museum, the old west zone, night markets, and many more. It is a charming place that you have to visit at least once in your life.
One behalf of the Organizing Committee and The Polymer Society, Taipei, I cordially invite you to attend this exciting conference. Your participation will make the conference fruitful and successful. We look forward to seeing you at Taipei in October, 2019.
