Objectives: 1.The objective of ANPhA is to strengthen ”Collaboration” among Asian nuclear research scientists through the promotion of nuclear physics and its transdisciplinary use and applications. 2.The objective of ANPhA is also to promote “Education” in Asian nuclear science through mutual exchange and coordination. 3.It also aims at “Coordination” among Asian nuclear scientists by actively utilizing existing research facilities. 4.Furthermore, at a later stage, it will help to discuss future planning of nuclear science facilities and instrumentation in Asia.

Results of 2 nd ANPhA Board Meeting ANPhA support symposia, workshops, schools for (ANPhA Symposium) Second ANPhA symposium : Seoul in relation to KoRIA project in October in Korea. (Schools) : under the “ANPhA spirit ” 1. ISPUN (Hanoi, 2011) 2. CNS-EFES Summer School (Tokyo, 2010) What is the “ANPhA spirit” ? ANPhA board members should be involved in organization of the symposium / school. No direct financial support by ANPhA. Spiritual support only.
