The first meeting of Asia Pacific Workshop on Time and Frequency (ATF) was held in Tokyo, Japan in 2000 and since then it has been regularly held to provide a forum among National Metrology Institutes of Asia-Pacific Metrology Program (APMP) plus wider research community in the world to exchange technical information.

By recognizing the importance and indispensable value of the ATF, the Technical Committee of Time and Frequency (TCTF) of APMP decided to set up the Organizing Committee of ATF during its annual meeting in 2013 to ensure the regular holding of the ATF. The purpose of the ATF is to provide researchers opportunities to report state of the art research activities in the field of time and frequency metrology, and to promote mutual understanding among the community to stimulate cooperation/collaboration in the Asia-Pacific region.
