At JpGU, we call co-sponsored sessions with our partner Unions "Joint Session".
【Partner Unions】
●AGU(American Geophysical Union)
●AOGS(Asia Oceania Geosciences Society)
●EGU(European Geosciences Union)
●CGU(Chinese Geoscience Union, Taipei)

Joint Session proposals need to be accepted by the co-sponsoring Unions to be designated as Joint Session.

・All session conveners of Joint Sessions must be JpGU ID holders however, regardless of the ID category.

・The session must be proposed as E session.

【Additional Rule for AOGS】
To propose a session joint with AOGS, follow the additional rules as follows:
・Main convener is an AOGS Member.
・The conveners are from 2 or more different countries.

1. Propose a session from the JpGU online session proposal system.

2. Select the coordinating Union(s) from the pulldown menu to let us know your plan for a Joint Session. Please note that this is NOT the formal application.

3. Fill out and submit the formal application form from the Joint Session link in the submission system.

Conveners should submit the Joint proposal Form by the November 2.

Please supply the following information to be considered for a Joint Session.
These are the information you need to enter in the Joint Proposal Form.

【Joint proposal deadline: November 2】

*This information will be reviewed by the Partner Unions of your request.
・Contact person (not necessarily a convener but a person who will be able to communicate with the representatives of Partner Unions, if necessary)
・Brief description of why the session should be a Joint Session and how conditions required by each Partner Union are met.

・All proposals are reviewed by the counterpart Partner Unions.
The Program Committee will finalize the acceptance based on the result of their approval.

・Sessions not approved as a Joint Session will be considered as regular scientific sessions.

・Additional convener may be designated by the Partner Unions.
In this case, the additional conveners will not affect the original number of conveners.

・Not only JpGU but the Partner Union will promote the Joint Sessions to their members.

・The session is defined as a "Joint Session" with the designated Partner Union on the record and Program.

・Please make sure to complete the TWO actions as stated above before the deadline (November 4, 2020); one as part of the session proposal process and one by sending a separate supplementary form.

・JpGU does not provide financial support such as travels to Joint Sessions.

・Joint Session proposals will be treated equally as other session proposals in organizing the Program such as the number of assigned time slots.
