Since its establishment, The East Asia Section of Inverse Problems International Association (IPIA) has organized a series of activities in a continuous manner, including the annual workshops “East Asia Section of IPIA - Young Scholar Symposium”. This series of symposia aims to promote young scholars working on inverse problems in the East Asia region. The symposia also provide a platform for active young researchers to exchange ideas and research results with their peers as well as leading experts from the East Asia region and to explore opportunities for research collaborations.

The symposium is organized once or twice each year. Each symposium is approximately for two days. This will be the seventh Young Scholar Symposium and will return to HKUST, the host of the very first symposium.
