The 4th International Symposium on

Slow Dynamics in Complex Systems

-- Keep Going Tohoku --

December 2-7, 2012 ---- Sendai, Japan

Many Thanks for all!

The 4th International Symposium on Slow Dynamics in Complex Systems was just over after 21 years since the first one was held in Fukuoka on November, 1991. On behave of the organizing committee, I would like to thank all of you for attending the meeting.

This meeting had the subtitle "Keep Going Tohoku". As the social program, we have visited old people in Souma City and children in Minami Souma City, who evacuated from the towns near the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Reactor. I would also like to thank all of you who has joined this event and encouraged victims from the heart.

Thanks again for everybody who has supported a series of those Symposia for a long time. I hope that those meetings was fruitful for all participants and also for further progress in science.

Goodbye, and take care!
Michio

PS. In the evening after the symposium was over, we had a rather strong earthquake with magnitude 7.3. Please don't worry about us since everything is fine here.
