Purpose of the ACFA The primary purpose of ACFA shall be to strengthen regional collaboration in accelerator-based sciences. In particular, ACFA seeks cooperative ways: To facilitate efficient utilization of existing human and material resources. To bring up accelerator scientists of the next generation, and To encourage future accelerator projects in Asia and to make recommendations for them to governments.

ACFA will carry out its business according to the following guiding principles: ACFA is open to any active region in Asia which is willing to contribute to the advancement of accelerator-based science. ACFA is not intended to displace or supersede any existing organization. ACFA will closely cooperate with ICFA (International Committee for Future Accelerators).

ACFA can engage in the following activities: regular meetings of the Plenary ACFA; schools, symposia, workshops, and conferences sponsored or organized by ACFA, or jointly with other organizations; study groups for special issues, set up by ACFA, or jointly with other organizations; …….
