1st circular, East-Asia AGN Workshop 2020
27-29 April 2020, Chongqing, China
==========

This is the 1st announcement of "East-Asia AGN Workshop 2020
(EAAGN20)", which will be held on 27-29 April 2020 in Chongqing
University, China. Since the first kick-off workshop in 2012,
this is the 7th meeting of a series of workshops focusing on
AGN/SMBH studies carried out in East Asia. The East-Asia AGN
Workshop aims at fostering close collaborations among scientists
(in both observational and theoretical fields) in East Asia. It
is becoming more important to expand and strengthen various
collaborations in East Asia, given a great variety of accessible
facilities currently (e.g., ALMA, JCMT, SMA, GLT, international
VLBIs, Subaru, Gemini, etc.) and also in near future (e.g., GMT,
TMT, XRISM, SPICA, etc.) for East-Asia astronomers. This workshop
will provide an interesting opportunity to learn the exciting
scientific results on AGN/SMBH achieved by East-Asia astronomers,
and to build up new collaborations among East-Asia astronomers.
