(The time available for presentations will be finally determined depending on the number of speakers.) Presentation materials will be collected from the participants and shared in advance.

The videos may be up to 30 minutes long.

After the seminar, we are planning to upload your materials to the websites of the host and participants’ organizations, and they may also be used as teaching materials by the participants. Let us know if you have any objections.
