Information related program

We encourage young scientists who are graduate students, post-graduate students (Master, PhD students) or researchers with a maximum age of 35 to give us a poster presentation. Several papers will be selected for short oral presentations. Young poster awards will be given to excellent posters presented by students and post-doctoral fellows with a maximum age of 35.

Banquet: December 8, at the entrance lobby of the Kobayashi Hall.
