About JpGU 2025
Greetings
JpGU Meeting 2025 Chair
Takeshi Sagiya (Nagoya University/President, The Geodetic Society of Japan)
I hope many of you will participate in the Meeting 2025, present your latest research results, and engage in lively discussions. I hope this will be a fruitful opportunity for the development of Earth and planetary sciences, and that new challenges will be identified, leading to new research.
JpGU Meeting 2025 Program Committee Chair
Kazuyoshi Moriya (Waseda University）
The JpGU 2025 conference will also be held in a hybrid format, combining face-to-face meetings at Makuhari Messe with online participation. You can choose whether to give your talk in person or online from a remote location for oral presentations. While many participants come to attend in person, we expect that online presentations will also expand the range and opportunities for discussion. For poster presentations, uploading the poster online is mandatory, and displaying the poster on-site is optional. Still, we would like you to experience the lively discussions on-site. For the JpGU 2025 conference, we have decided to expand the exhibition hall area by 1.5 times. We hope to see more open and diverse interdisciplinary discussions by effectively using this space.
Your session proposals and presentations are the backbone of the JpGU meeting. The program committee will work hard to develop a program that will contribute to further activating your research and provide new seeds for your scientific fields. We look forward to receiving your proposals and abstracts and seeing you at Makuhari Messe.
