We are pleased to announce that Taiwan-Japan Joint Seminar on Photosynthesis Research 2023 will be held at National Taiwan University (Taipei, Taiwan) on Oct. 16, 2023. Ten young researchers have been invited as speakers. Although speakers are restricted to young researchers, we happily welcome participation of researchers and students without any age limits. We look forward to seeing you in Taipei. This seminar will be held after the main sessions of Taiwan-Japan Plant Biology 2023 (TJPB2023) (https://www.tjpb2023.org/).
