The 2024 Workshop on ICAM-China International Cooperation Development, jointly organized by Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Sciences (KITS) at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS), and the Songshan Lake Materials Laboratory (SLAB), will take place from December 6 to 8, 2024, at the Yangtze River Delta Physics Research Center in Liyang, Jiangsu Province.

The symposium will bring together leading academicians, experts, and mid-career research leaders from China and abroad to focus on ICAM-China’s future operational model and development direction, exploring ways to further enhance and promote international academic exchange and collaboration under the ICAM framework.

About ICAM & ICAM-China

The Institute for Complex Adaptive Matter (ICAM), established in 1999, fosters an open and dynamic partnership that unites research institutions and physicists from around the world to engage in collaborative research, training, and the tackling of critical scientific challenges. In 2004, ICAM received support from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) to sustain and expand its global academic and educational initiatives. To date, ICAM has established 72 branches worldwide.

ICAM-China was officially launched in January 2012. By 2020, it had grown into a cross-disciplinary academic consortium comprising 21 research institutions, spanning fields from theory to experiment and integrating physics, chemistry, biology, and materials science. ICAM-China serves as a collaborative platform for interdisciplinary research bridging condensed matter, materials science, and life sciences, while actively supporting and advancing international academic exchanges and educational programs in China.
