Re The JAER 47th Annual Conference
Dear JAER members,
We regret to announce that the JAER 47th Annual Conference, which was scheduled to take place at Chuo University (Ichigaya-Tamachi Campus) on the 16th and 17th of this coming October, will not be held on site on a face-to-face basis, as we have no prospects for the containment of the coronavirus yet. Instead, we will hold an on-line Conference, using Zoom.
Although the Planning and Steering Committee has been engaged in arranging, with the generous help of Professor Takehiro Hashimoto, Chuo University, for the regular, face-to-face Annual Conference to be held at the appointed venue, they have reached the conclusion that the health and safety of the prospective participants should be prioritized and holding an in-person conference given up, considering that the coronavirus pandemic has not been stamped out yet. We would greatly appreciate your understanding our decision under these difficult circumstances of the coronavirus pandemic.
The JAER 47th Conference will be held on-line on the originally scheduled dates, i.e. 16-17 October 2021. The details about the virtual Conference, including its programme, are to be announced by the Secretariat to all the JAER members toward the end of August.
Hiroshi Sasagawa
President of JAER
Re The JAER 46th Annual Conference
We regret to announce that the JAER 46th Annual Conference, which was scheduled to take place at Fukuoka University on the 10th and 11th of this coming October, will not be held on site on a face-to-face basis, in light of the prevalence of the coronavirus infection. Instead, we will hold a virtual Web Conference, in which papers are posted on the website for a given period of time, questions and answers exchanged there meanwhile.
Although the Planning and Steering Committee has been engaged in arranging, with the generous help of Professor Akiko Sonoda, Fukuoka University, for the regular, face-to-face Annual Conference to be held at the appointed venue, they have reached the conclusion that the health and safety of the prospective participants should be prioritized and holding an in-person conference given up, considering that the coronavirus pandemic has not been stamped out yet. We would greatly appreciate your understanding our harsh decision under these circumstances of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Web Conference will be held during the period from Monday 5 to Sunday 18 October 2020. The details about the Web Conference, including the programme and the procedures, will be announced to all the JAER members toward the end of the next month.
