About JpGU 2022
Greetings
JpGU Meeting 2022 Chair
Sachiko HAYASHIDA (Research Institute for Humanity and Nature）
As of September 2021, the number of new infections is on a downward trend, but the medical system in major cities is becoming increasingly severe, and the situation for next spring is still uncertain.
On the other hand, when you think about it this way, the online conference is a good opportunity for members and students who have been unable to attend Makuhari due to long distance. "Turning a pinch into a chance" may be nothing more than a cliché slogan, but we can also see the corona disaster as the arrival of an era in which we can abandon our existing values and create new ones. It was precisely because our daily life was taken away that we were able to realize anew the value of ordinary, everyday life. Being unable to travel for business made us realize the effectiveness of online meetings. We were able to reevaluate our busy schedule. Were there any insights you gained from the lost experience? I believe that new history will be made from it.
JpGU Meeting 2022 Program Committee Chair
Masaki ISHIWATARI (Hokkaido University）
The past two JpGU annual meetings have been held only in online format. The online format has made it possible for participants to attend JpGU from their workplaces, homes, including from overseas, thus improved convenience. This has given us hope that we can further promote collaboration with other scientific societies. On the other hand, in the questionnaire after JpGU2021, we heard many participants hope for the on-site format.
In coming years, we will be searching for a better style for the meeting considering both of these advantages and disadvantages. In this sense, JpGU2022 can be considered as a start of a new stage. Since JpGU2022 will be held in a new format, your increased collaborative efforts in organizing the sessions as the conveners will be most appreciated. As the expectations of improved contents of the sessions will grow, as in previous meetings, we would like to ask conveners to design the sessions so that the discussions can be held from interdisciplinary and multiple viewpoints. In addition, we would like to ask all the participants to contribute many presentations and active discussions in the new format.
The Program Committee has also made some changes in the guidelines, such as the number of conveners, as an effort of the search for a better meeting format. We hope that we will be able to work together with all conveners and participants to organize a better conference style.
All members of Program Committee look forward to seeing you at the JpGU2022 with a new style next May. We appreciate your continued support.
