We are now happy to let you know that we have now finalized the revised date. The new date is September 27 (Mon) – October 2 (Sat), 2021. The sessions of the conference will not be shortened. Additionally, the venue, Sendai International Center at Sendai in Miyagi Prefecture in Japan, remains the same.
Regarding COVID-19, we will handle the matter accordingly in cooperation with relevant parties. In order to prevent infection, there is a possibility that the participation style may be changed into remote participation through internet access for some participants.
