JCRS 25th meeting

The Japanese Coral Reef Society, 25th Annual Meetings

 The 25th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Coral Reef Society will be held on Ishigaki Island, Okinawa, from November 11th-13th, 2022, for the first time since the 6th Annual Meeting, 19 years ago! We look forward to face-to-face presentations and spontaneous discussions, which are not possible online. We initially tried to hold the meeting in a hybrid format, but unfortunately we were forced to abandon that idea due to the communication infrastructure at the venue. We are also looking forward to receiving proposals for mini-workshops in a variety of fields related to coral reefs. There will be only one venue for oral presentations, which will promote more diverse interdisciplinary discussions. Additionally, we plan to accept as many poster presentations as possible, including those from elementary, junior high school, and high school students. Unfortunately, there will not be a general reception, but we hope that you will be able to interact freely, before, after, and between presentations, which is possible only at a face-to-face conference. Please join us! We look forward to seeing many of you there!

Chairman: Go Suzuki (FRA)
Organizing Members: Chuya Shinzato (UTokyo), Wakawo Odake (MOE), Hiroko Egawa (MOE), Tamaki Shimose (FRA), Hiroshi Yamashita (FRA), Iwao Tanita (FRA), Sachia Sasano (FRA)
