It is with pleasure that we inform you that the evaluation for the designation of the country to host the next ISS10 has finally concluded. The choice has fallen on China, which has offered a well-defined and comprehensive proposal. ISS10 will, therefore, take place in October 2025 in Yichang City and will be hosted at the International Academic Exchange Center (IAEC) located on the campus of China Three Gorges University (CTGU) as the conference venue. Further details on registration costs and exact event dates will be provided shortly, and in the early months of the coming year, a website with all necessary information will be launched. We hope that you will mark this event in your calendars for 2025.
