7. Programs
The 51st JSI meeting will have following programs.
Welcome Reception
We would like to have a small celebration of the next 50 years of the Japanese Society for Immunology and hold “Welcome Reception” on Day 1. No pre-registration nor participation fees are required. We hope that all of on-site attendees will join us on this occasion.
Afternoon Seminars
Those seminars are held aimed at building platforms for developing Immunologists who are responsible for the next generation in close collaborations with cooperative companies. Those are elaborate seminars unique to the companies.
Evening Seminars
As a first step toward the next 50 years of the Japanese Society for Immunology, the evening seminars entitled “Future of Immunology” will be held. We invite leading researchers whose core areas of specialization are not Immunology but are the fields of study such as “Aging” “Brain, Nerve, Metabolism” “Regeneration” “Synthetic Biology”, and ”mRNA drug discovery”, which will become more important to the field of Immunology. Chairpersons of the seminars will be appointed among young researchers, and they will be asked to speak about their research dreams.
Round-table discussion for young scientists
The round-table discussion for young researchers (forum) will be held to look toward the future of Immunology. Refreshments will be served during the forum. We look forward to active participation of young researchers in the forum.
Overview Talk
Overview talks held prior to each symposium are kind of educational lectures and especially for students or those who are not specialized in the topics.
Symposia
International symposia on 16 topics （S01-S16）will be held by both domestic and overseas immunologists. The program committee appointed chairs of symposia and left selection of speakers to the discretion of those chairs.
Some symposia will be conducted concurrently. Chairs decide how they lead their sessions and presentation time of each speaker.
