The International Conference on the Progress in Statistical Physics was held in commemoration of Professor Choh, who is renowned for his seminal contribution to the kinetic theory of non-dilute fluids, well known as the Choh-Uhlenbeck equation. During the conference, some of the remarkable progress in the field of statistical physics were reviewed and future directions of statistical physics was discussed.
