On behalf of the Organising Committee, we are thrilled to invite you to join us in the vibrant city of Sydney, Australia for the 8th Asian Aerosol Conference to be held at the Australian Technology Park from 2-5 December 2013. The conference will provide delegates with a valuable opportunity to learn about new discoveries and problems, exchange views, and develop plans for the future of aerosol science and technology. The conference will explore a wide range of topics related to aerosol science. These topics will encompass the physical and chemical characteristics of aerosols and their impact on the environment and society in diverse areas such as climate, air quality, health, energy, and materials. We are working hard to reach the right balance between learning, socialising and networking. We hope to offer you a strong academic program, professional exhibitors and trade displays and an environment for you to network with like-minded colleagues. The conference has been designed to facilitate the interchange of ideas between speakers, delegates, sponsors and exhibitors alike.
