Presentation Language

Each session has a language code (E or J).
This code indicates the presentation language of posters / slides and oral presentations.
See HERE to learn more about presentation language.

The oral presentation and all other materials including posters and slides must be in English at E session.
Presenters of J session may choose their presentation language either English or Japanese during the abstract submission.
J Sessions:
The main language is Japanese. However, we ask presenters to prepare their posters or oral presentation slides either entirely in English or with English translations so participants who cannot read Japanese are able to understand the contents.
E Sessions:
English should be the main language used for the presentation including information on slides and posters. Japanese may also be used where appropriate.
[NOTE]* We will publish the presentation language in the printings and on the website. Please DO NOT change your presenting language that you selected.
