Annual Meeting on Photochemistry 2015 policy of operation

In the past few years, increasing numbers of participants who are non-native Japanese speakers from overseas and exchange students as well as foreign post-docs living and conducting researches here in Japan have participated in the Annual Meeting on Photochemistry. The Japanese Photochemistry Association is also making efforts in trying to increase the number of members from overseas and fostering international human resources.

In order to accommodate such circumstances, we have set up a new policy of operation on presentation as detailed below for Annual Meeting on Photochemistry 2015. We greatly appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
