Kobayashi-Maskawa Institute (KMI) concluded an agreement of academic exchange with Institute of Physics and Applied Physics (IPAP), Yonsei University. Those institutes have already collaborated for the hadron physics and the B-factory experiment , and a workshop was held as following URL. http://hken.phys.nagoya-u.ac.jp/kmiipapws_2015/ We can expect more active collaboration and exchange with IPAP.

Sakata Memorial KMI Workshop on “Origin of Mass and Strong Coupling Gauge Theories” (SCGT15) was held at KMI from March 3rd to 6th, 2015. The workshop is the 10th of the Nagoya SCGT workshop series after SCGT 88, 90, 96, 02, 06, 09, 12Mini, 12 and SCGT14Mini. About 85 researchers attended the workshop, and through the oral and poster presentations, fruitful discussions were held in particular about the composite Higgs models for the electroweak physics in the context of LHC …
