Outline of the international exchange
Participants will discuss research topics through poster presentations with overseas young researchers who have received a Travel Award.
- Snacks will be available during the international exchange meeting so that participants can discuss research topics and introduce themselves to each other in a relaxed manner. The discussions at the meeting will be also joined by overseas PI-class researchers who will participate in the Annual Meeting of the Japan Neuroscience Society, thus giving an opportunity to interact with these leading researchers, as well as young ones.
- If you wish to make a poster presentation in the exchange meeting, you may use the poster prepared for the Annual Meeting of the Japan Neuroscience Society.
- At the exchange meeting, you may make a poster presentation on the same theme as the oral presentation you will deliver at the Annual Meeting of the Japan Neuroscience Society.
