ISAP Poster Session

At this year's ISAP, a poster session will be held in the space in front of the elevators on the 5th floor of the main venue, Pacifico Yokohama. The poster session is a common presentation format at international conferences and academic meetings, where researchers display posters introducing their research and activities and explain them directly to those who are interested or stop by.

In addition to the topics covered at ISAP meetings, IGES is engaged in a wide variety of research and activities. You will have the opportunity to discuss these diverse projects directly with our researchers. The poster session is also a great opportunity for researchers to gain new insights from the questions they receive and to connect with others who are conducting similar research. Please feel free to talk to the poster presenters when you visit the venue. We hope you will enjoy catching up on conversations that are unique to the poster session and different from the seminars where you listen to presentations from the stage.

In addition, as a special programme, junior high and high school students who are interested in biology and science will participate in the poster session as presenters, so please keep an eye out for these young researchers who will present their research side-by-side with IGES researchers.
