The 16th Asian Conference on Solid State Ionics is held in Shanghai
The 16th Asian Conference on Solid State Ionics (ASSSI-16) is held in Tongji University, Shanghai during August 5-8, 2018. The 18th National Conference on Solid State Ionics of China and the 5th Asian Conference on Solid Oxide Fuel cells are held at the same period. The conferences are hosted by the Asian Society for Solid State Ionics and the Solid State Ionics Branch of the Chinese Society for Ceramics. The conferences are co-organized by the Shanghai Institute Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (SICCAS), Tongji University and Tsinghua University. Professors Zhaoyin Wen, Yunhui Huang and Minfang Han serve as the co-chairman of the conferences. More than 1000 participants from universities, research institutes and industries of Asian Countries China, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Indonesia, and from the United States, Germany, Norway and Russia take part in the conferences.
The opening ceremony is held at the auditorium of Tongji University and chaired by Prof. Yunhui Huang on Aug. 6. Both Xianglin Gu, the Vice President of Tongji University and Lixing Song, the Director of SICCAS, delivered warm welcome to all participants. Zhanping Jin, Vice Chairman of the Chinese Society for Ceramics, Han-iII Yoo, President of International Society for Solid State Ionics, B.V.R. Chowdari, Honorary President of the Asian Society for Sold State Ionics, Minfang Han, Chairman of the Executive Committee of Asian Society for Solid Oxide Fuel cells, Zhaoyin Wen, President of the Asian Society for Solid State Ionics and Chairman of the Solid State Ionics Branch of the Chinese Society for Ceramics gave speech at the opening ceremony.
