AMS2026 Asian Microgravity Symposium
November 30 Mon. – December 4 Fri.
Yumebutai, Awaji, Japan
The Asian Microgravity Symposium (AMS), established in 1993, has steadily grown as a leading platform for researchers and technologists from academia and industry to share the latest developments in microgravity science and technology. Following the 14th AMS held in 2024 in
Chennai, India, the 15th edition of AMS (AMS2026) will be held in Japan at the Awaji Yumebutai International Conference Center, Awaji Island, in 2026. Located on the scenic resort island of Awaji, the venue offers an inspiring and relaxing environment that fosters focused discussions and vibrant exchanges of ideas. We are confident that this unique setting will help participants engage more deeply with each other and with the latest developments in microgravity science and technology. Researchers and technologists from across Asia and around the world are warmly invited to participate in this biennial event and contribute to its rich program of presentations and discussions.
AMS2026 will be held in a hybrid format, with both on-site participation and online access via Zoom. However, as the registration fee includes the banquet and lunches, on-site participation is strongly encouraged.

Post-event: welcome to submit to IJSMA!
After the symposium, all contributed papers are strongly welcome to submit to our official journal: the International Journal of Microgravity Science and Application (IJSMA, IF = 1.3). Since the extended abstract is already review-ready version of the journal submission format, if you prefer, you can submit “as is” for review after the conference. If you prefer to add more results or discussions, you are welcome to modify and submit. Thank you for your kind concern in advance!
