DESCRIPTION:Now more than 12 years in operation\, the Atacama Pathfinder E
 xperiment (APEX)  12 m submillimeter telescope has significantly contribu
 ted to a wide variety of submillimeter astronomy science areas\, ranging f
 rom the discoveries of new molecules to large and deep imaging of the subm
 illimeter sky.\n\nSince 2012 the Ringberg APEX workshops bring together AP
 EX users working on a wide range of exciting results covering the Solar Sy
 stem to distance galaxies in the early universe. APEX2018 aims at presenti
 ng new science results and to looking into new science opportunities for t
 he next years.\n\nEarlier this year\, the partners signed another extensio
 n of APEX operations to 2022. This extension comes with upgrades of the an
 tenna itself as well as the commissioning of new instruments\, including n
 ew large cameras for wide-field continuum imaging and new heterodyne instr
 uments highly complementary to ALMA.\n\nWhile ALMA operation is in full sw
 ing\, APEX is strengthening its role not only as pathfinder for studying l
 arge source samples and spatial scales to prepare detailed high angular re
 solution ALMA follow ups\, but also as fast response instruments to comple
 ment new results from ALMA. Furthermore\, APEX ensures southern hemisphere
  access for submillimeter projects complementing archival Herschel researc
 h as well as new SOFIA science.\n\nThe conference venue Ringberg Castle pr
 ovides a unique setting for in depth discussions on current and future sci
 ence with APEX. In particular\, sessions on new scientific results\, on sy
 nergies with other observatories and on the exploitation of the upcoming n
 ew APEX capabilities are envisioned.\n\n \n\nhttps://events.mpifr-bonn.mp
