The 7th Asia-Europe workshop on “Concepts in Information Theory” is based on a longstanding cooperation between Asian and European scientists. The first workshop was held in Eindhoven, the Netherlands in 1989. 

 

The idea of the workshop is threefold: improvement of the communication between the scientist in the different parts of the world; exchange knowledge and ideas; pay a tribute to a well respected and special scientist. In the past we paid tributes to Jim Massey, Jack Wolf, Te Sun Han and Han Vinck. We are very proud that for this workshop Kingo Kobayashi accepted our invitation to be the guest of honour. We also consider Kingo Kobayashi as our key lecturer. His style of presenting is extremely inspiring and always very clear. The organizers want to pay special attention to these aspects.

 

We encourage presenters to pay special attention to the educational aspects of their presentation and concentrate on the main ideas and concepts in the developed theory. Highly technical presentations are not welcomed.
