1. Particle Accelerators in Asia Asian Accelerator Network
Asian Committee for Future Accelerators
ACFA is officially established in the First Plenary ACFA meeting held in 1996 at POSTECH, Korea
ACFA covers Asia and Oseania
ACFA is composed by 14 countries/regions and 1 international organization (JINR, Russia)
Purpose

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.
To encourage future accelerator projects in Asia and to make recommendations for them to governments.

Business
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).
Activities
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

Asian Accelerator Network
Phase
to establish the Asian accelerator science community
to promote exchange of accelerator scientists/students
to coordinate cooperative research programs
to coordinate strategic planning based on common interests
to plan/support symposia, workshops, and schools in Asia
the Network is not limited to HEP programs,
but extends to accelerator science in general science using light sources or neutron sources, medical/industrial application, innovative technologies (accelerator/detector)
