TCS & IAA 2025

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is my great honor and pleasure to welcome you to the TCS & IAA Asian Regional Meeting 2025, to be held this autumn in Sapporo, Japan. This meeting marks the first-ever regional conference of these two distinguished international societies, bringing together researchers from Asia and beyond to foster new collaborations in crustacean and crayfish studies.

The primary goal of this conference is to create New Friends, New Ideas, and New Projects. We believe that by gathering experts and early-career researchers from various fields, we can cultivate innovative discussions and strengthen the global network of crustacean research. It is our sincere hope that this meeting will serve as a platform for academic exchange and future collaborations.

Sapporo, the host city, is not only an academic hub but also one of Japan’s most famous tourist destinations. We encourage you to take the opportunity to explore its rich culture, breathtaking landscapes, and renowned cuisine, making your participation in this conference both scientifically rewarding and personally memorable.

On behalf of the organizing committee, I warmly invite you to join us for this exciting event. We look forward to welcoming you in Sapporo!

Best regards,

Tadashi Kawai
Chief Organizer,
