Conference summary: Asia-Pacific region in the world and in astronomy
Abstract
I will discuss how the Asia-Pacific region is represented in the world by using some statistical data which are population, GDP, IAU membership, and Solar Physics authorship. Although the Asia-Pacific region is under-represented in solar physics and astronomy in general, the situation is improving with the economical rise of China and India.
