#5. From Committees
(1) Finance committee
Call for Donations to Promote the Advancement of the Online Conference
System – re-post.
JpGU has been seeking donations to promote the advancement of the
online hosting system since this February. Members’ understanding and
support of the purpose of this call would be highly appreciated.
Donations can be made by clicking on the banner in the “News” box on
the left side of the JpGU website (https://www.jpgu.org/en/), from
5000 yen and up.
We would like to express our gratitude to all of the JpGU members and
participants for your continued support of JpGU activities, especially
those who participated in the Japan Geoscience Union Meeting 2021
held in May – June. We feel that we could provide you with
opportunities to present your research and exchange information
reasonably smoothly, despite the concerns about the spread of
infection. We are sure that many of our members and participants have
felt the benefits of holding the meeting online and, on the other
hand, realize the advantages of having it on-site. While we anticipate
the resumption of on-site assemblages in the future, we believe that
it is essential for JpGU to improve by incorporating the positive
aspects of virtual meetings to enhance participants’ satisfaction.
We also accept donations from non-members, corporations, and
voluntary organizations. If you know someone near you who might be
supportive, please help us expand the donation circle by forwarding
our call.
Michio Kawamiya
Chair, Finance committee
(2) Educational Affairs Committee
This notice is about the renewal course for teaching licenses in Japan.
In order to promote Geoscience education, the JpGU is offering
courses for the renewal of teacher’s license (6 hours per course,
with optional content related to subject instruction, etc.). We are
currently accepting applications for five renewal courses on our
website, but the number of applicants is much smaller than expected.
Therefore, we would like to ask all teachers to apply for this course
and let other teachers know about it.
We also like to remind you that those who are not eligible to take the
license renewal course this year will be allowed to attend (for a fee)
only if the number of applicants is not enough.
In addition, if you are a JpGU member and would like to open a class
for the renewal of a teacher’s license, please see the following
materials available on the Education Review Committee website and
apply. If you apply by the end of July, we can start accepting
applications for the course on October 16 and offer the renewal
course after November 16. We are looking forward to your active
application.
