At the 4th Multidisciplinary Science Forum in Washington, D.C. which was held on February 21st 2014, the JSPS-US Alumni Association General Assembly voted to establish an IT Committee overseeing the setup of a new web site. The decision was primarily need-based, since the existing pages on the JSPS-US server can only be amended or altered through a JSPS Washington Office official, which limits the site's flexibility. Today we are very happy to welcome a new JSPS-US web site, which will consolidate all content from current JSPS-US Alumni Association pages and the Yahoo! Group.

The new website was successfully launched owing to hard and successful work of our IT team members. The IT committee includes five members: Christoph Lossin (Chair), Tim Devarenne (EC representative), Dana Freiburger, Katie Laumann, and Sven Nelson. Thank you all!
