The 4th International Conference on Functional Materials Science 2018 (ICFMS 2018) was held in Bali, Indonesia on November 13-15, 2018. It is jointly organized by Institut Teknologi Bandung, Universitas Padjadjaran, Institut Teknologi Sepuluh November, Universitas Gadjah Mada, and Universitas Indonesia. This International conference is for promoting collaborative research program on physical and chemical studies of functional materials under the collaboration between Indonesian researchers and some researchers from institutions/universities in Asia and Europe.
In conjunction with this ICFMS 2018, we will host as well The 2nd RIKEN Symposium, which is a continuation of the successfully previous 1st event in the frame of  “International Workshop on Organic Molecule Systems” held in Penang, Malaysia, 2017, in collaboration between RIKEN Nishina Center and Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). This symposium is intended to provide a platform for the exchange of research knowledge on organic molecular systems achieved by using muons as well as expanding the RIKEN’s worldwide networks and linkages in collaborative research endeavors. Additionally, this activity also aims to encourage young students and researchers to work in the muon field in the future.
