If you do not submit your paper by the deadline, your presentation might be canceled.

(The template and registration form are available on the conference website.)

Your presentation should be 20 minutes. When utilizing ZOOM, you are required to share your presentation with other participants (e.g. microsoft powerpoint). We do not provide proofreading services, therefore, you need to edit your paper by yourself.

Please send the following two materials directly to the Annual Conference Executive Committee.

(i) Abstract, one A4 page

Please use the template (MS-Word) of Organized Session and Roundtable, which is available on the conference website. (No problem even if the content is the same as one of the application).

Duration: not more than 10 minutes (about 10 slides)

＊Registration and Payment of the participation fee

The participation fee is JPY 3,000, which can be paid only with a credit card. Receipts are not available because the Conference is held online. Please refer to statements or the receipts issued when you make a payment.

Other participants have to register and make the payments by 18:00, Fri. November. 19th, 2021.

＊Video recording of sessions

All sessions will be recorded since there might be some possibilities that the network connection has some problems. After the conference, the movies will be provided on the conference website for a certain period (about two weeks are assumed after the movies are available online). Those who can turn on their video are chairs, commentators, and presenters. Other participants cannot turn on their video. Please confirm portrait rights, copyrights, personal information protection on the registration form.

All the sessions have one chairperson, two commentators, and four presenters in principle. The sessions are limited to 120 minutes.
