| Invitation to "International Symposium of Systematics and Diversity of Fishes" |
|
It is our pleasure to invite you to the "International Symposium of Systematics and Diversity of Fishes" to be held in Tokyo on 3 and 4 March 2008. The language of the Symposium will be English. No one can participate without a prior application. If you wish to attend the Symposium, please copy Application Form, change the example data, to yours, and send to
fishsympo@ori.u-tokyo.ac.jp. Fees for the participation are ¥6,000 (Japanese Yen) per person, including participation in an evening party on 3 March. Please put "fishsympo2008" in the subject line of your e-mail title. After receiving your Application Form, we will send you an e-mail describing a temporary registration number. For non-residents in Japan, the fees will be accepted on evening of 2 March (15:00 to 17:00) and morning of 3 March (08:30 to 09:00) at a reception desk in the Ueno campus of the National Museum of Nature and Science; all residents in Japan should pay their participation fee through Japan Post Bank before 31 January 2008. The application deadline is 21 January 2008 in Japanese time. Because of seating capacity, we will stop accepting applications when numbers reach 150.
We invite poster presentations by members of the Ichthyological Society of Japan and will allocate a space of 85 cm height and 120cm width for each poster. Non-members who wish to make poster presentations with Society member(s) can participate in the Symposium. The Application Form should be completed by a representative author who attends the Poster Session (see Temporary Program of the Symposium). Abstracts are not required for poster presentations.
Question about the Symposium should be sent to Gento Shinohara (s-gento@kahaku.go.jp) or Kohji Mabuchi (mabuchi@ori.u-tokyo.ac.jp). We are looking forward to welcoming you to our forthcoming Symposium in Tokyo.
