KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 29 -- The Yokohama Convention & Visitors Bureau, along with Pacific Convention Plaza Yokohama (PACIFICO Yokohama) will host the 28th International Conference on Statistical Physics (STATPHYS28) in 2022.
STATPHYS28 will be held for five days, beginning July 25, at PACIFICO Yokohama North. About 1,200 participants, including 600 from overseas, are expected to attend the conference, according to a statement from Yokohama Convention & Visitors Bureau (YCVB).
At STATPHYS27 held on July last year in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Yokohama was chosen as the host city after competing with Beijing, making it the first STATPHYS in Japan in 54 years since 1968.
Yokohama won the bid due to the tradition and high-level research on statistical physics in the country as well as enthusiasm and a vision for the event expressed by a local committee chaired by Prof T. Deguchi, Ochanomizu University.
In addition, the superior advantages the city has to offer as a conference venue was also highly appreciated, including easy access from worldwide as well as safety and cooperation among the local committee and organisations in hosting the event.
Throughout the bidding process, the YCVB, City of Yokohama and PACIFICO Yokohama working in unison with Japan National Tourism Organization supported the local committee and a successful bid was made to host this conference.
