'AROB 26th 2021' and ISBC6 will be held online (Zoom)
After carefully considering the current situation imposed by the Coronavirus (COVID-19), the conference committee has decided to hold 'AROB 26th 2021' and ISBC6 online.
While we were looking forward to meeting together in Beppu next January, the health and safety of the participants has been our top priority for shifting the conference to online mode. We would appreciate your understanding in regard to this decision and hope that you will be able to enjoy the online conference.
A Poster Session will not be part of the program this time as the AROB 26th 2021 will be held online.
The Links to each Rooms are written in "timetable.html" included in AROB2021_Program.zip.
Please check an email with a subject line "URL of the AROB2021 proceedings/program and association code for free access of online AROB Journal" and download the Program.
