With the theme of the conference being “Ancient Road, Modern way”, we aim to create a unique exchange forum for discussing recent progress in the following topics:

The conference will be hosted by Zhejiang University in Hangzhou City, the capital of Zhejiang Province, which is located along the southeast coast of China and is 200 km south of Shanghai, the largest city in China. Hangzhou has three UNESCO World Heritage sites, including West Lake, the Grand Canal and Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City, and is one of the most famous tourist destinations in China because of its long history of over 2,200 years and beautiful scenery. Hangzhou is also renowned as the “Home of Silk”, “Paradise on Earth”, “Tea Capital” and “Town of Fish and Rice”.
