In Nov. 2003, Taiwanese young astronomers organized East Asia Young Astronomers Meeting 2003 (EAYAM 2003), and it was a great success. In Feb. 2006, East Asia Young Astronomers Meeting 2006 (EAYAM 2006) was held by Japanese young astronomers, and invited young astronomers in four of the EAMA core regions, China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. That meeting encouraged the interaction among young astronomers of neighboring regions, and provided an opportunity for future international discussions and interactions.

Here, we are pleased to announce that the East Asian Young Astronomers Meeting 2008 (EAYAM 2008) will be held in Jiayuguan of Gansu, China from July 27 to August 1, 2008.
