16th Meeting of GJSSS: Online format + new deadline
Sustainable societies, March 2-4, 2022
As entrance restrictions to Japan remain strict, we have decided to shift to an online format after all. We initially postponed the conference to March 2022 with the hope to be able to meet in person in Tokyo, but the situation simply remains unclear. We are very sorry about this but hope for your understanding and active participation.
The deadline for submissions has been extended to October 31, 2021.
Please submit your abstracts (up to 350 words) to the following address: gjsss2021[at]outlook.jp
