• SUMMARY
  
  This symposium is an international meeting on solar physics with an emphasis on radio observations, particularly those from the Nobeyama Radioheliograph. The Nobeyama Radioheliograph is a unique instrument to study a variety of solar phenomena. This uniqueness is due to several factors: it is a dedicated solar instrument, with full coverage of the solar disk, high angular and temporal resolution, and continuous observations for 8 hours daily. The observation obtained thus far span the latter half of the declining phase of the solar activity cycle 22, and the beginning phase of the cycle 23. We are expecting the activity maximum in a couple of years. On this occasion, we would like to summarize recent radio observations of the Sun and to discuss future coordinated solar observations with radio instrumentation.

• VENUE
  
  Kiyosato is located about 5 km from Nobeyama Radio Observatory. The meeting will be held at Seisenryo Hotel (about 2 km from Kiyosato JR station). Meeting attendees are encoraged to stay at this hotel. Railway connections between Narita airport and Kiyosato (one station before Nobeyama) through Shinjuku (Tokyo) will be found on the Web pages "access information between Narita airport and Tokyo area" and "access information from Shinjuku to Nobeyama". It will take more than 5 hours from Narita airport to Kiyosato. Time tables will be attached in the final announcement.
