The Ninth Symposium on Polar Science

Symposium has been closed.

The Ninth Symposium on Polar Science hosted by the National Institute of Polar Research (NIPR), Tokyo, Japan, will be held from 4th to 7th December 2018. The NIPR is organizing this annual symposium to present and promote a wide variety of polar scientific research and interdisciplinary studies.
We look forward to your active participation.

Symposium schedule

4 – 7 December 2018

Venue

The symposium will be held at the National Institute of Polar Research (NIPR) and the Institute of Statistical Mathematics (ISM).
The Antarctic meteorites session is jointly held with Hayabusa 2018 at the JAXA Sagamihara Campus.
Address of the National Institute of Polar Research: 10-3 Midori-cho, Tachikawa, Tokyo, Japan.

Style and language for presentation

Presentation style is either oral presentation or poster presentation. We ask you to indicate your preference at the timing of abstract submission. The Local Organizing Committee (LOC) will make a decision for style of each presentation.
Language for oral presentations is English as a rule. Even in the case of presenting in Japanese, slides for oral presentations must be written in English. In poster presentations, English must be used at least in abstract and explanations for figures and tables.

About environment of the poster presentation

Poster sessions will be held at the Entrance Hall of NIPR on the 1st floor, collecting all posters presented for the symposium. We plan to use poster boards with a size of 1170 mm in horizontal width, 870 mm in vertical width, and with top height of 1800 mm. The board is for landscape type posters. However, portrait type posters can be displayed as well using the horizontal width of up to 1170 mm.

Poster presentations of the Antarctic meteorites session would be held in the lounge on the 2nd floor of the Research/Administration Building at the JAXA Sagamihara Campus. The size of a poster board is 1200 mm in width and 1800 mm in height. You can put a A0-size poster in both vertical and horizontal orientation. You can put your poster during whole the symposium, and two poster core times will be held during the symposium.
