The A3 Metamaterials (A3 META) Forum is a metamaterial symposium with leading researchers in Asian countries. The forum is named after the original countries: China, Japan and South Korea. Topics of the forum include artificial materials and surfaces in electromagnetic, acoustic, and other systems from DC to optical frequencies and beyond. The forum was originally founded as an annual bilateral meeting between Japan and South Korea in 2011, and then expanded to China and other Asian countries as the A3 Metamaterials Forum in 2017. The first A3META symposium was launched in Sendai, Japan, in 2016 under the leaderships of Lei Zhou, Teruya Ishihara, and Jeong Weon Wu. The forum consists of invited talks delivered by top scientists selected by the steering committee and a poster session presented by students and other scientists. All presentations will be scheduled in a single session in order to maintain an intimate environment for discussions. The history is listed below:
