Meeting Format
- The meeting will be held in a hybrid format, primarily onsite, with the use of an online platform.
- Oral presentations and sessions will take place onsite. In principle, online-only presentations will not be accepted.
- Poster presentations will be conducted by uploading files in advance to the online platform, allowing participants to freely view them during the meeting period.
- Participants who wish may also display their posters onsite, however, if there are too many requests, we may limit the number of onsite presentations.
- Core time will be scheduled for onsite participants.
- For major conference events including some sessions, recordings will be made by the meeting organizers and later made available on the online platform as on-demand streaming. Live streaming is not planned.
- We are currently discussing whether to implement the “self-on-demand” (self-recorded videos uploaded to the online platform) for sessions and oral presentations not covered by the above criteria.
- Poster presentations will remain available for viewing on the online platform even after the conference has closed.
Further details will be posted on this website as they are finalized.
