DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Somjai Chunjareon (Accelerator Research and Developm
 ent Department)\n\nThe International Organization of Chinese Physicists an
 d Astronomers (OCPA) initiated in 1998 under the auspices of the OCPA\, ha
 s been held biennially (except for a cancellation in 2004 due to SARS). It
 s location rotates\, with past schools hosted five times in Mainland China
 \, twice in Taiwan\, and once in Singapore. The program covers core topics
  in accelerator physics and engineering\, following a rigorous one-semeste
 r university-style curriculum with homework and a final exam. Each session
  admits 60–80 competitively selected students\, and over the years\, mor
 e than 500 graduates have gone on to contribute to accelerator projects ac
 ross Asia\, the US\, and Europe.\nTo meet the growing depth of student res
 earch\, the OCPA Accelerator Topical School was launched in 2009. Held in 
 alternating years with the General School\, this program focuses on specia
 lized topics and admits around 35 students. It includes advanced lectures 
 and student presentations. So far\, four topical schools have been held—
 three in Mainland China and one in Taiwan—serving about 140 students in 
 total.\nThe success of both school series is due to strong community suppo
 rt from funding agencies\, faculty\, staff\, and students. As accelerator 
 science continues to thrive in Taiwan and China\, the OCPA schools remain 
 a vital platform for training the next generation of accelerator scientist
 s. Continued support from the broader scientific community\, especially th
 rough OCPA\, is essential to sustain this impact.\nThe 12th OCPA Accelerat
 or School (OCPA-2025) in Thailand is jointly organized by Shanghai Advance
 d Research Institute (SARI)\, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and Synchr
 otron Light Research Institute (SLRI).\n \nImportant Dates: \n\n Applic
