- The Science Council of Japan will organize its fifth annual International Conference this year together with ICSU (International Council for Science) on the theme "Asian Megacities and Sustainability", in Tokyo, from 10-12 November 2004.
IAP is serving as a "collaborator" given the theme is pertinent to the mission and activities of the network, to show the audience of national, regional and international policymakers, academic institutions and the public that the organizers are global representative bodies of the scientific community working together toward this very important global issue.

The programme will consist of plenary lectures with leading scientists in the field and several panel discussions on key issues. It is anticipated that a statement will be delivered at the end of the conference, for further actions by scientific community in coming years.
