It is regret that no funds will be available from the symposium to assist in expenses, which will be your own responsibility.

Due to the high cost of medical services in Japan, all foreign researchers have to enroll in an appropriate insurance plan to cover any medical expenses during stay in Japan. Please note that the premiums for the insurance must be paid by the foreign participant himself/herself.
