The chair and the secretary of the local committee are Dr. Sai-ping Li ( spli@phys.sinica.edu.tw ) and Dr. Henry Tsz-King Wong ( htwong@phys.sinica.edu.tw ) of the Academia Sinica, respectively.

The scientific program includes plenary sessions, parallel sessions, poster session, and special forum. The website of the OCPA5 Conference is
