The 11th Asia Lighting Conference - The LED age: Challenge from Asia

The 11th Asia Lighting Conference (ALC), which is jointly sponsored by the China Illuminating Engineering Society (CIES), the Illuminating Engineering Institute of Japan (IEIJ) and the Korean Institute of Illuminating and Electrical Installation Engineers (KIIEE), will be held in Kobe University, Kobe, Japan, from 13 to 14 September 2018.
ALC is an international academic conference on science and art in the field of lighting. It aims to promote academic exchanges and technological innovation among science and technology personnel in Asia, especially among young scholars, through research exchange, discussions, and learning from each other. The theme of this session is "The LED age: Challenge from Asia", which is divided into keynote speech, invitation talk, oral presentation, short oral presentation and posters. The conference also has a workshop session for discussions on hot topics.

Welcome to the 11th Asia Lighting Conference (ALC)

We have provided the opportunities to exchange valuable information among delegates and to foster young lighting engineers in the ALCs for 10 years.
The 11th ALC will be held at Kobe University, Rokko Campus for two days. ALC was formerly known as the Lighting Conference of China, Japan and Korea. The 11th ALC will become the first conference after the title of conference was changed. In the conference whose theme is �The LED age: Challenge from Asia�, we plant hope the delegates to enthusiastically discuss strategies to perform basic and applied studies on LEDs, which infiltrate various markets in Asian countries.
Kobe is an attractive city to visit. It has an international trading port, intriguing buildings and a breathtaking nightscape. Let you enjoy sightseeing there, before and after the conference.
Asian countries occupy the important positions in lighting engineering. New LED technologies have been developed in many research laboratories in Asia. In addition, countless LED-equipped products are produced in factories there. Asia is expected to send much information on this technology to the world. In the 11th ALC, we will start to issue design awards, and expect lighting and product designers to participate in the conference. We also hope many scientists, engineers and students who are involved in lighting technology to join it as well as submit their manuscripts to us.
