Summary
The symposium is open to graduate students and senior undergraduate students. There is no registration fee. The purpose of the symposium is to encourage the students to enjoy scientific discussion and cultural exchange with each other and with professors in an informal atmosphere; so, do not hesitate to speak English!
The symposium will consist of invited lectures by professors in the morning and contributed posters with short talks by students in the afternoon. Students are especially encouraged to participate and give poster presentations.
In the evening, we will have a sociable session, get-together, where one can introduce his/her lab and university using a few slides.
Although one-day symposium, various satellite meetings are also planned. Hope that the participants will enjoy them as well.
