Dear ascidian researchers,

We apologize for the long wait regarding the format of the 5th Ascidian Research Meeting, but we have decided to hold the meeting online. We hope to make the most of the advantages unique to an online format, such as free participation and the ability to join from remote locations. While this format is quite different from previous years, we ask for your kind understanding.

As it will be held online, we have set up the Ascidian Research Meeting website below. Basically, we kindly ask you to complete your participation and presentation registration by uploading your abstract file and the Excel file for participation registration through this website. The deadline for participation and abstract registration is Sunday, September 20 at 13:00.

Dates: Friday, October 30, 2020, 13:00 – Saturday, October 31, evening
How to join: We will send the online participation link URL at a later date to the email addresses of those who register to participate via the website by September 20 (along with their group members).

In previous research meetings, researchers from a wide range of backgrounds, from students to faculty members, have shared their respective research. This time as well, we actively welcome research presentations that incorporate current problems or minor ideas into the presentation, inviting opinions and suggestions from the community.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
