        The Asia-Pacific Symposium On RadioChemistry (APSORC) was founded
        by Prof. Kishikawa and the first conference was held in 1997 in
        Kumamoto,
        Japan. The conference provides an international forum for presentation
        and discussion of current and emerging sciences in all fields of
        radiochemistry and nuclear chemistry, and their applications to
        various fields. It aims to promote academic activities in nuclear,
        radiochemical
        and related sciences. Scientists, engineers and students from universities,
        institutes, laboratories and industries throughout the world are
      encouraged to participate and make contributions. 
        The conference has been held every 4 years. The venue, years and
        the organizer of the next symposium has been decided by the APSORC-IC.
        The symposium organizer and local organizing committee manage the
      conference and the APSORC- IC helps the symposium organizer.
