Dear Presidents and Representatives of Member Societies, and Members of the ICIAM Community,
As the new year 2023 begins, I would like to wish you and your societies all the best for the next 12 months. Above all good health for you and your families and also success to your societies for all the events and activities they will organize.
This year will be an important year for the ICIAM community. The ICIAM congress will be held August 20-25, 2023 in Tokyo, Japan. With less than 8 months left before the Congress, I urge all of you to encourage members of your societies to register for ICIAM-2023, to attract as many people to the congress as possible and to make our congress a great success. Information about how to make registrations, how to organize mini-symposia, how to submit contributed talks and posters and how to apply for financial support can be found at the website of the Congress (http://iciam2023.org).
Right after ICIAM-2023, the Board meeting will take place on August 26th, to make several important decisions, including:
1）election of 2 Officers at large,
2）choice of the Scientific Program committee (SPC) for ICIAM-2027 which will be held in the Hague in 2023, (The chair of the SPC for ICIAM-2027 will be Professor Barbara Wohlmuth. I would like to remind you that suggestions for membership of SPC should be sent to me before the 10th of February, 2023.)
3）changes to the ICIAM Bylaws and ICIAM prize rules.
I look forward to seeing you all in Tokyo and with my very best wishes and regards for 2023.
Ya-xiang Yuan
ICIAM President
