#2. JpGU-AGU 2020: Virtual [Important Information]
The format of the 2020 virtual meeting was decided by the JpGU Meeting
Organizing Committee after very careful deliberations taking into
account a wide range of different perspectives.
(1) Format of the JpGU-AGU 2020: Virtual
– All oral and poster presentations of regular sessions will be
offered an online-interactive style presentation tool, “iPoster”. This
tool can include conventional images and text, and also affords the
possibility of using videos and audio files and the use of interactive
communication tools.
– “Discussion Forum Sessions (DFS),” a live broadcast discussion
timeslot, will be assigned for each session and take place in the
morning timeframe on the same days of the week as given in the
provisional program. The duration of DFS is 45 minutes for sessions
of an oral slot and poster-only, and 90 minutes for sessions with
more than 2 slots. Details are available from the URL below.
