Topics

General Topics

The presentation are 5 patterns usually, "Oral short presentation", "Oral long presentation", "English oral short presentation", "English Oral long presentation",and the other is "Poster presentation" in General Topics.
We accept the presentation, according to a classify of general theme. In rotation, theme of this year is as follows tables;　However, we request to change the presentation type cause of the place, or something problem. The decision, please leave it to the steering committee.  

Strategic Topics

The presentation is Oral long presentation. To deepen the discussion, we provide Session Organizer (SO) in each topics. SO take charge of the program organization and the management on that day.
Each Topics has the schedule number. When a set frame of each topics is exceeded, your application may be changes to the poster presentation.
