The 5th Japan-US Science Forum in Boston (2020)

   
JSPS Washington Office plans to hold "The 5th Japan-US Science Forum in Boston" on Saturday, November 14 in cooperation with the Consulate-General of Japan in Boston and UJA. Due to the current situation, the forum will be held virtually.
"The Japan-US Science Forum in Boston" was inaugurated in 2016, aiming to create an interdisciplinary meeting opportunity that stimulates collaborations between researchers to solve world-wide problems.
Previous forums were held to discuss how science could help an aging society (2016), a safe food supply (2017), the science of sleep (2018), and nanoscience (2019). This year's forum will be a special program, inviting lecturers from the US and Japan.
The forum also includes a flash talk session and a networking session. You are cordially invited to participate in the forum and to give an introduction about your research in three-minute flash talks.
Presentations in any fields are welcomed.
