|
Applicants will be informed whether their proposed symposium has been accepted, integrated with another, or rejected in early January 2009, after having been reviewed by the Program Committee. In light of the outcome, please register your presentation (including English abstracts for all symposium presenters) during the presentation registration period. |
|
・
|
There will be 41 symposia in total, of which approximately 15 will be selected from those submitted through this application process. The timeframe for each symposium is two-and-a-half hours. Each symposium should include four to six presenters. Presentations are to be given in English, while questions and answers can be in either English or Japanese. |
|
・
|
At the time of your proposal we request that you will have already obtained the informal consent of the planned organizers and symposium presenters. If consent has not been gained, please indicate this in the name column, by adding (to be contacted) or (under negotiation), etc. |
|
・
|
In order to make the Annual Meeting more international we welcome symposium proposals that include foreign researchers. Symposium organizers are responsible for arranging travel and other expenses for presenters and organizers, as the Annual Meeting organizers will not offer any financial support. However, the registration fee for the Meeting will be waived for symposium presenters who are not members of the three hosting societies. |
|
・
|
The program committee may request merging of proposed symposia with similar topics, replacement of presenters,, or inclusion of regular presenters into a symposium. We therefore request that at this current point in time you do not offer any guarantees regarding the holding of a symposium to candidates. |
|
・
|
Individuals are limited to a single presentation as main author during the Meeting. Please be aware that symposium presenters may not give presentations at more than one symposium, nor may they give a regular presentation. |
|
|
|
|
There are some symposia that will receive corporate sponsorship.
After a decision has been made on which symposia will be eligible for sponsorship, those companies that have expressed an interest in providing sponsorship will be contacted once again by the secretariat. We ask for your understanding. |
| |
| (If a company is selected to sponsor a symposium) |
・
|
The company will be requested to cover the costs of holding the symposium (including the transportation costs for speakers invited from overseas, etc.). There is a ceiling on costs for supporting symposium costs.
|
|
・
|
After the title of the symposium, the company name will be displayed in the following format: “Sponsored by XXXX.”
|
|
・
|
The above format will be used to display the names of sponsoring companies on the convention website and also in the program booklet.
|
|
・
|
In the relevant program section of the convention website (list of companies) a link will be provided to the sponsoring company’s website. |
|
・
|
During the symposium corporate advertising is prohibited. |
|
・
|
The only documents that are permitted during the symposium are those that have been approved by the convention organizer and secretariat. |
|
・
|
The organizers are free to add a sponsoring company to a symposium. If you find a company willing to sponsor a symposium, please notify the convention secretariat.
However, please note that for symposia that already have a sponsoring company in place, or for public symposia, the proposal regarding the candidate sponsoring company will be examined closely before a final decision is made on whether to accept the sponsorship proposal. Please do not make any advance assurances to companies concerning the likelihood of their offer of sponsorship being accepted.
