- This time, we plan to limit the number of applications for the Poster Presentation Award in order to ensure a sufficient number of judges. Due to the online holding, for the English Presentation Award, it will be difficult to score and select a recipient as usual. Therefore, we will cancel the regular English Presentation Award and conduct the English Presentation Audience Special Award as an alternative. As the previous meeting ESJ67 in Nagoya was canceled due to COVID-19, we are pleased to announce free admission to the non-member speakers that were invited to the ESJ67. Please note that our partnership with the Molecular Biology Society of Japan (MBSJ) for joint meetings has already ended.
