About APACE 2011 Beijing

Dear APACE Friends and Members,

It gives me great pleasure to announce that our 6th Asia-Pacific Association of Chemical Ecologists (APACE) Conference with the theme "Chemical Ecology Future: Green Chemoecology in 21st Century" will be held in Beijing China (October 11-15, 2011). This conference marks the round trip of the Association in the Chinese philosophy (a 12 year one circle) since the first meeting of the APACE was initiated in Shanghai in 1999. Please, let us know if you have any suggestions or ideas for the Association. Thank you.

Please visit APACE 2011 web site !!

President: Eric Jang
