・English is the main presentation language of the JpGU-AGU Joint Meeting 2026. In J sessions, presenters may choose either English or Japanese as the presentation language; however, all presentation materials (slides, posters, and materials uploaded to Confit) must be prepared in English (Japanese may be included as well).

・The meeting registration fee is different depending on the ID category. Make sure you understand this fee structure as below before obtaining a JpGU ID for abstract submission.
▶Registration Fee
*It is not possible to change the category of ID once it has been used for session proposals or abstract submissions. A single person may not obtain dual IDs.

If you submit your abstract using a Meeting participation ID (non-member ID), you will need to register for the meeting with the same ID.
The difference of the meeting registration fee between regular members and Meeting participation ID is expected to be more than 10,000 yen, with no discount for the latter; furthermore, once your abstract submission has been made with the Meeting participation ID, you cannot change your status at the time of meeting registration.
JpGU system is unable to integrate information if associated with multiple IDs for a single person. If you register with a different ID, you will not be able to present your abstract and/or upload your presentation materials on the system.

Please obtain a JpGU Member ID and use it to submit your abstract if you would like to attend the meeting with a Member discount.

・Annual membership dues should be paid before submitting an abstract if you are a JpGU Member.
