Hello from Japan! As the local host for 2025, I am pleased to welcome you to the joint conference of ACEAIT, ICBASS, ICEAP, and HKICEAS, taking place from March 26 to 28, 2025in Kyoto, Japan.
Kyoto served as Japan’s capital for over 1,000 years (794-1868) and is known for its deep traditions, religion, and culture. It is a popular travel destination worldwide, home to numerous national treasures, including 17 UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Kyoto is renowned for its fine arts, crafts, textiles, and culinary delights, including sake and green tea. Moreover, it is home to several innovative leading companies recognized worldwide for their work in electronics, ceramics, game software, and medical equipment. The city offers a fascinating fusion of ancient traditions and modern advancements.
The Kyoto Research Park (KRP), which opened in 1989, is Japan's first privately operated research park. It was developed through collaboration with Kyoto Prefecture, Kyoto City, and local industries. Conveniently located near JR Kyoto Station, KRP lies at the center of the "Kyoto Innovation Belt," which stretches from Katsura Innovation Park through the southern part of Kyoto City and extends towards Keihanna Science City. This venue serves as an innovation hub (iHub), aimed at connecting people, information, and advancements in science and technology.
At this unique venue, you will have the chance to meet and engage with other attendees through discussions and exchanges. This joint conference offers a wonderful platform for you to present your research and explore various academic fields and interdisciplinary studies. It will serve as a valuable global opportunity for gaining insights and inspiration for your future research.
I encourage you to take some time to explore the hidden gems of Kyoto during your stay. This will help you discover new aspects of the country and connect with the experiences of people from ancient times. Additionally, there is a social event planned—a day trip to Amanohashidate, which offers one of the best views in Japan, as well as visits to the Ine Boathouses (Funaya) and Miyama Thatched Village on March 28th. These are must-see destinations in your lifetime. (See
