Registration fee
To attend the Global Nanophotonics 2017, you need to register via the online registration form. If you are a associated with the JSPS Core-to-Core Program, the registration fee is waived. For those not yet associated with the program, a minimal registration fee of US$120 (PhP6000) is required to pay for meals for the entire duration of the conference and contribution towards rental of the conference facilities. All meals (including Conference Banquet but excluding breakfast) during the conference will be catered. Non-members of the JSPS core-to-core program can pay the registration fee via bank transfer or at the registration desk on 6 December 2017. An official receipt from the Samahang Pisika ng Pilipinas (Physics Society of the Philippines) will be provided after payment of the fee. This event is a great opportunity to set new connections with the members of the JSPS Core-to-Core Network for potential academic exchange and collaboration.

The online registration form also requests that you present a talk or a poster. Once registered, you can change your information including title and abstract until the last day of registration, 27 October 2017. After this date, we will finalize the program for printing of the Global Nanophotonics 2017 Book of Abstracts. From the registration page, you can enter the title and short text abstract of your talk. In addition to the text abstract submitted during the registration, we require a formatted extended abstract with representative figures. Please prepare a one-page abstract via MS word format (download MS Word template here) and send it to the GNP2017 Scientific Chair: Prof. Nathaniel Hermosa <This email address is being protected from spambots.

The conference venue is located in Sabang, which is 60km north of Puerto Princessa City. While the city has many options for accommodations, we recommend staying at hotels within Sabang as it will take about 1hour to travel via local transport (bus or jeepney) to/from Puerto Princessa. If the conference venue is booked, here are other options for accommodation in Sabang:
- Sheridan organic farm and eco village (appropriate for student groups. Dormitory type rooms with 8 beds)
- Daluyon Beach and Mountain Resort
Puerto Princessa is the capital city of Palawan, which is an island west of the Philippines. The most convenient way to reach Palawan is by domestic air travel via two main international port of entries, Manila and Cebu. The three main airlines operating between Palawan and Cebu/Manila are Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific and Air Asia. When booking via Manila, please allocate at least 3 hours of layover to transfer between international and domestic airports. Traveling to Palawan via Cebu Mactan Airport is convenient and preferred if you can find an international route to Cebu from your location.
