Application for Participation and Presentation

Applications for making presentations at the 24th JASID Annual Conference in Osaka University

Research Presentations and Thematic sessions

Research findings and outcomes may be reported in the forms of an oral presentation or poster presentation. Oral presentations will be grouped into sessions with common themes by the Conference Organizing Committee. Each member is allowed to make only one presentation during the Conference. However, one can be listed as co-author(s) of other presentations. In principle, co-authors of presentations have to be members of JASID, even if they do not present at the Conference. For students presenting their research endeavor, they are required to secure a recommendation letter from their supervising professor. There is no specific format for the recommendation letter. There will be one chairperson and one commentator for each session. At this Conference, the time allocation for each presentation is 20 minutes (15 minutess for presentation and 5 minutess for questions and answers). For the poster presentation, recognition will be awarded to outstanding posters, following intensive selection.

Approval of applications for Research Presentations and Thematic Sessions will be made by members of the Conference Program Committee, composed of members from the Conference Advisory Committee and Conference Organizing Committee. For Thematic Sessions, members will come from multiple institutions. The themes should be cross-sectoral or cross-regional in nature, corresponding with the inter-disciplinary background of JASID – such will be the principle in the selection process.
