AWPP2026
Last year’s AWPP2025 was held in Kanazawa, Japan. This year, since PPS2026-Regional will be held in Hanoi, Vietnam, we will host this event as a satellite conference – on a smaller scale and in the form of invited presentations – also in Hanoi, Vietnam. This will be the third time the event has been held in Hanoi, Vietnam, following the 2010 and 2017 conferences. We believe that participating in this workshop and the subsequent PPS2026-Regional will provide an excellent opportunity to expand the forming and processing network in the Asia-Oceania region. We look forward to your presentations and participation.[Chair: Prof. Phan Trung Nghia (Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Vietnam)]
