■ Advanced Workshop
In addition to the Aquaphotomics School, we are excited to announce an Advanced Workshop titled “Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) and Field Perspective Applied to Water and Living Systems”, to be held on May 17, 2025, as part of the conference. This workshop will provide participants with an in-depth exploration of the QED framework and its application to understanding water’s role in biological systems. This will be a powerful theoretical lens through which we can further understand the dynamic structure of water—an essential principle at the heart of Aquaphotomics. It’s an excellent opportunity for researchers to deepen their knowledge in this cutting-edge area. For more details, please visit our Workshop Page.
■ AIC2025 Promotional Video
We are pleased to share our new promotional video that introduces the vision, people, and possibilities of the upcoming Aquaphotomics Conference. In an exclusive interview, Prof. Roumiana Tsenkova, founder of Aquaphotomics, chats with Mr. Shogo Shigeoka, CEO of Yunosato, about what makes AIC2025 so transformative. This concise video is perfect for sharing with colleagues or students interested in the science of water. You can view it here or on our YouTube Channel.
■ High School Program (Free!)
We are launching a High School Program (Free!) aimed at inspiring the next generation of water scientists. This initiative offers Japanese high school students the opportunity to observe and experience the conference firsthand, fostering curiosity and awareness of Aquaphotomics. Educators interested in involving their students are encouraged to visit our High School Program Page for more details.
Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm. Let’s continue to explore the wonders of water together. Please contact us at the conference@aquaphotomics.com if you have any comments or queries.
