Dear Colleagues,

This is the first announcement of the international conference,
"Next Generation Astrochemistry: Reconstruction of the Science Based
on Fundamental Molecular Processes" (Nov. 29 to Dec. 2, 2022).
#On-site conference is currently planned.  But on-line options are
prepared for participants from abroad.

This conference will celebrate the career of Satoshi Yamamoto, who
has made enormous contributions to establish the concept of
"chemical evolution" in astrochemistry.
Invited speakers will be announced soon.

With best regards,
Organizing committee
Nami Sakai(chair, RIKEN), Shogo Tachibana(The Univ. of Tokyo),
Yuri Aikawa(The Univ. of Tokyo), Yuji Nakano(Rikkyo Univ.),
Hiroshi Imada(RIKEN), Naoki Watanabe(Hokkaido Univ.),
Toshiyuki Takayanagi(Saitama Univ.), Hajime Tanuma
(Tokyo Metropolitan Univ.), and Yousoo Kim(RIKEN)

Next Generation Astrochemistry:
Reconstruction of the Science Based on Fundamental Molecular
Processes

  Planet formation is a natural consequence of the star formation
process, and there is an incredible variety of planetary systems,
which  are significantly different from the Solar System. Recent
observations have revealed chemistry in planet-forming regions.
Various complex organic molecules are found in protoplanetary-
disk forming regions, and their abundances vary significantly
among objects.  This indicates that the Solar System may not
have been common in terms of its initial chemistry, which invokes
 the discussion on the rarity of our existence.  Progress of the
 Solar System exploration, including the recent successful return
of the Hayabusa2 spacecraft, makes it possible to analyze
pristine Solar System materials directly. The combination of
such analysis with high-sensitivity observations of planet-forming
regions will tell us the chemical origin of our Solar System and
how common or rare it is in the universe. However, to tackle
these questions, we have to revisit fundamental astrochemical
processes. In the past decades, the astrochemical studies
focused on chemistry under extremely low temperature and
density conditions, where only barrier-less exothermic reactions
proceed efficiently. During the planetary system formation,
on the other hand, the physical condition changes dynamically
resulting in dynamic interactions of molecules between gas and
dust(ice) surface. Investigation of such physical and chemical
processes is crucial to understand the formation of complex
organic molecules and the chemical variety of planet-forming
regions. Through this conference we will facilitate
interdisciplinary studies among the fields of molecular science,
planetary science, and astronomy.

  This conference will celebrate the career of Satoshi Yamamoto, who
has made enormous contributions to establish the concept of "chemical
 evolution" in astrochemistry.

  Students and young researchers are encouraged to attend and
interact with all participants, and to present their works. 
Although there is a limitation, financial help will be available for
them upon request.  (The total number of on-site participants is
limited to less than or equal to 80, which may be changed without
notice depending on the Covid-19 situation). If the registered number
 exceeds this limit, we will prioritize presenters.)

  Registration page will be opened in mid September.
