Welcome to SMSJ2015

The first Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy Japan was held in 2001 at the Komaba Campus of the University of Tokyo, intending to give chances for young scientists including graduate and undergraduate students to have oral presentations.
The 15th Symposium will be held at the Hakozaki Campus of Kyushu University, which is located east side of Fukuoka city, JAPAN. We hope many researchers from abroad to attend the meeting.
The main topics of the symposium is high-resolution molecular spectroscopy. We also welcome for example the following topics:
· Reaction dynamics
· Quantum chemistry
· Atmospheric processes
· New spectroscopy techniques, etc.
In recent years, roughly 100 persons including those from overseas attended at the meeting. 1 or 2 invited talk(s) and about 35 papers were presented by not only students but also experts in molecular science in two days.
Although it is still a domestic meeting, where most of the presentations are given in Japanese, powerpoint presentations and short-abstracts are required to be prepared in English, so that participants from abroad can understand the presentations. We are also encouraging participants to give their presentations entirely in English.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Fukuoka, May 2015.

Kensuke HARADA and Masatoshi MISONO, Organizer, SMSJ2015
