The Asian Silicon Symposium (ASiS) takes place in Asia biennially and is hosted in turn by the Silicon Societies of Japan, Korea, and China. At the ASiS meeting, all aspects of silicon chemistry are presented and discussed by both professionals and students who are working in academic and industrial fields in Asia. The ASiS meeting is also open to the world’s silicon community. Previous ASiS meetings were successfully held in Miyagi, Japan in 2007 (ASiS-1), at Jeju, Korea in 2008 (ASiS-2), at Hangzhou, China in 2010 (ASiS-3), and at Tsukuba, Japan in 2012 (ASiS-4). 

The International Symposium on Applied Silicon Chemistry (ISASC) is held triennially and was founded by the Research and Education Center for Advanced Silicon Materials (RECASM), which is affiliated with Yonsei University and KCC. After the 1st ISASC at Yonsei University in Wonju in 2010, the Korean Silicon Society (KSiS) was established in 2011. Subsequently, it became the host of the ISASC, which provides a forum for scientists interested in silicon materials to present and discuss all aspects of applied silicon chemistry. The ISASC-2 was successfully held at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) in Seoul on October 24-25, 2013.
