"IEEE CPMT Symposium Japan (ICSJ)" is one of the most widely recognized international conferences sponsored by the IEEE Electronics Packaging Society (EPS) and has been held annually in Kyoto in November. This conference was inaugurated in 1992 as "The VLSI Packaging Workshop in Japan (VPWJ)" to provide a platform for you to communicate and interact with global leaders in packaging technology. Later in 2010, this conference was renamed to "ICSJ" and ICSJ2021 is the 10th ICSJ meeting, or 19th conference since establishing VPWJ. This year, ICSJ2021 will be a hybrid event of on-site and virtual meetings where several presentation options are available for the authors to select and the details will be announced on the official website at a later date.

Electronics Packaging for 5G and B5G: The 5G commercial services have just began and provide higher transmission rate, lower latency, greater capacity of remote execution, and larger number of connected devices. The 5G advantages will dramatically advance the performance of IoT services, edge computing, augmented reality (AR) / virtual reality (VR), autonomous mobility, as well as artificial intelligence (AI), and future "beyond 5G (B5G)" mobile network will eventually provide 5G and B5G services to realize Internet of Everything (IoE) services. In 2021, our focus is on key electronics packaging technologies for the next-generation mobile networks and their applications for 5G and B5G services, and emphasizes on the following main topics: Photonics, Advanced Packaging, Process & Material, Power & Automotive Electronics, Bioelectronics, and Sensing Technologies. Additional topics of primary interest to the participants are listed below.
