The international Working Group on Generalized Convexity (WGGC, www.genconv.org) held its second triennial conference in ASIA, namely GC9 at National SUN YAT SEN University in Kaohsiung in Summer 2008.

Most of these converences sponsored by the international Working Group on Generalized Convexity took place in western countries since the inception of the research group in 1994. Today WGGC has its members in over 50 countries. The only other meeting outside the west took place in Hanoi, Vietnam. At GC9 We had a good mix of researchers from east and west. Chair of GC9 was Prof. Jen-Chih Yao, KH. GC9 was preceded by a summer school in KH. Its director was Prof. D.T.LUC.

The next international triennial conference of WGGC will take place in Cluj, Romania in 2011.
