The 34th JASID Annual Conference: Program release and participation in plenary session

We have released the online conference program, which includes the timetable, presentation abstracts, and presentation papers, available through Confit (conference portal). Additionally, we have compiled information about how to participate in the plenary session scheduled for the first day of the conference. Please take a moment to review this information.

1. Conference program (Confit)

You can access the program via the conference website. To view and download the PDF papers, you will need a password, which will be provided separately by the organizing committee to those who have completed their registration and payment.

★ Conference Website:

Creating the program involves various adjustments, such as session scheduling, assignment of presentations, negotiations with session chairs and commentators, and securing venues. Kindly note that we are unable to accommodate requests for changes to sessions or schedules. We appreciate your understanding.

The poster session is scheduled for November 11th (Saturday) from 09:30 to 13:00. We have designated 11:45-12:45 as the core time, so we would appreciate it if presenters could be available at the venue during this time to answer questions from attendees.

Publishing companies will be selling books written by JASID members at the rest area (11th Building Basement Lounge) on the second day of the conference, on the 12th (Sunday) from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Please come and visit.

A simplified version of the conference program (PDF), including venue maps and presentation guidelines, will be made available approximately 1 to 2 weeks before the conference.

2. Participation in the plenary session

The conference plenary session titled “Where Is Japan’s Official Development Assistance Heading? – In response to the revision of the Development Cooperation Charter,” scheduled for the afternoon of November 11 (Saturday), is a public event co-hosted with Sophia University. Please review the event flyer on the conference website for more details.

★ Plenary session:

This event allows both in-person and online participation. Due to venue capacity constraints, we can accommodate up to 150 attendees on a first-come, first-served basis. Those unable to enter the main hall will be able to watch the event on a screen in an adjacent room (capacity: 150 attendees). Registration is scheduled to begin at 13:00, 30 minutes before the event starts.

Both venues will have sub-monitors in addition to the main screen, providing Japanese text information of speech for those with hearing difficulties.

The plenary session will be conducted in Japanese. Those requiring English simultaneous interpretation should bring their devices (such as smartphones) and headphones to connect to the ZOOM Webinar for audio translation.

Questions for the speakers can be written in Japanese or English on paper distributed at the registration desk and will be collected during breaks. If you wish to ask a question to speakers directly, please complete the registration process early and enter the venue.

Participants joining online do not need to register in advance. Please enter via the link provided in the “Language” section at the bottom of the information page (this link is for society members; please refrain from sharing it with the general public).

4. Message from the Chair of Conference Organaising Committee

The venue of the 24th Spring Conference, Akita City Cultural Creation Centre, was built in 1967 as the Akita Prefectural Art Museum. This building has a unique roof with a round-shape window that helps to shed sunlight to its inside.

Such design of the building was necessary for a museum located in Akita where the amount of sunlight is significantly less in winter. Since 2019, the same building is repurposed to host various cultural activities. We received 40 oral presentations, 5 round table sessions, 3 planned sessions, and 18 poster presentation applications.

In total 66 projects are going to be presented. I am very much looking forward to hearing discussions on various topics during the conference in our special venue, Akita City Cultural Creation Centre.

This conference will primarily be in-person, excluding one session. The organizing committee is implementing the following measures to ensure a safe event. We ask for your cooperation in holding a safe and secure conference.

[For all participants]

As a preventive measure against infectious diseases, please check your body temperature and make sure you are feeling well before visiting. If you have a fever (37.5 degrees or higher) or feel unwell, experiencing symptoms, please refrain from coming to the venue, regardless of whether you are positive or negative for an infectious disease.

★Smoking is completely prohibited inside Utsunomiya University.
Please refrain from smoking to prevent passive smoking. Also, to prevent chemical sensitivity, please refrain from using artificial fragrances.

[For in-person presenters]

If you are unable to attend due to illness or any other circumstances that require you to be absent, please promptly notify the conference secretariat and the commentator/chair.

However, please note that if you are unable to attend for any reason, you will be absent. It is not possible to switch to online presentation. Additionally, video recorded presentations will not be accepted as it will not be possible to ask questions on the spot.

[For commentators]

If you are unable to attend due to illness, please update the event
secretariat and contact the chairperson. If you have prepared your comments in writing in advance, please send them to the chairperson. If only oral comments are scheduled, please make arrangements within the subcommittee, such as asking the chairperson to provide comments in your place.

[For Chairperson]

If you are unable to attend due to poor health, please send an email to the conference secretariat and make arrangements within the session, such as contacting the commentators and asking them to serve as moderators and facilitators.

On-Site Measures and Protocols:

In order to prevent infectious diseases and chemical sensitivity, the host has selected a room that is relatively spacious, easily ventilated, and relatively less chemical substances. Although it varies from person to person, we believe that a certain number of people with chemical
sensitivities can participate with some peace of mind. The venue will be regularly ventilated, and hand sanitizer will be available at the entrance. Wearing a mask is at individual discretion.

Dear JASID members,

JASID has decided and is operating the “Reasonable Accommodations for the Rights of People with Disabilities” in 2019 by the Board of Directors. However, JASID had not been able to properly identify members who need reasonable accommodation in the past.

So that, we have decided to ask current members’ needs by the application form below. If you wish to request reasonable accommodation for the smooth activities of JASID, please submit the form to us by【30th June 2022】.

▼Application Form for Reasonable Accommodation (*)

If you have any further questions, please contact the JASID Secretariat.

(*) Please note that the contents of the application will be limited to JASID Secretariat office and related committees.

Best regards,

Yoshiaki Shiga

Después de la expansión del coronavirus (COVID-19), el proyecto ha venido utilizado las herramientas virtuales en distintos aspectos.

En esta ocasión, realizaremos el 3er Simposio Virtual en el cual presentaremos los trabajos que venimos realizando utilizando la herramienta en línea durante la pandemia, así como las capacidades de marketing y branding que han venido adquiriendo las mujeres del Proyecto y casos de empoderamiento. Además, se realizará la presentación de las actividades de empoderamiento y sostenibilidad de las universidades contrapartes.
Tendremos la presencia del Dr. Kazuo Kuroda, profesor, Decano de la Escuela Académica Internacional del Laboratorio de Estudios de Asia y el Pacífico, Universidad Waseda y la Dra. Yumiko Tanaka de la Universidad Internacional Josai.
