The 4th APOLO (APOLO2024) is a landmark international conference focusing on difficult polarization analysis under the theme Frontiers of Polarization Remote Sensing.The first APOLO was held in China in 2017, followed by France and the United States every two years since then, and Kyoto was chosen as the site for the fourth conference.The LOC (Local Organizing Committee) for APOLO 2024 will be chaired by Prof. Eno Mukai of KCGI and will be held at KCGI for four days from November 18 to 21.
KCGI opened in April 2004 as the first IT professional graduate school in Japan (declared open in 2003).Inheriting the tradition and achievements of Kyoto Computer Gakuin, the first computer education institution in Japan that has trained information processing engineers to meet the needs of industry.Based on a global educational network with the Rochester Institute of Technology and other overseas universities, we have introduced the world's latest IT education curriculum and added management education to foster advanced professionals in the IT field and top leaders in applied fields.Upon completion, students will be awarded Japan's highest degree in the field of applied information, the Master of Information Technology (Professional).The school has an enrollment capacity of 880 students (11 times the number when the school opened), and a new building (headquarters building) will be completed in the summer of 2022 on the Hyakumanben campus of the main school in Kyoto.
