Announcements to Symposium Participants

Please see the latest symposium schedule and the detailed program posted on this page. The Symposium will be held in the Visitor Centre of the Japan Monkey Centre (JMC).

JMC Entrance Fees: Although the registration for this symposium is free, all participants other than invited speakers* are asked to pay the admission price of 800 JPY/day or become a Member of the Japan Monkey Centre (3,000 JPY/year) to support the operations of JMC, which is providing the venue for the symposium (Note: To become a member on the first day of the symposium, you would first need to buy an 800-JPY ticket to enter through the Main Gate, and then apply for membership at the Visitor Centre, where the ticket cost will be reimbursed).
*If you are an invited speaker, please tell the staff on duty at the Main Gate that you are an invited speaker at the PWS Symposium, and your entrance fee will be waived.

Getting to JMC: For general information on how to get to JMC, please see their website (https://www.j-monkey.jp/lng/en/index.html). If you are coming from near Inuyama Station, we recommend that you take a taxi. Taking a bus (Gifu Bus) from the station is another option, but note that it only runs every 30 minutes on Friday and every 15–30 minutes on the weekend; the last bus back to Inuyama Station leaves the Japan Monkey Park bus stop (adjacent to JMC) at 18:09 p.m. If you are staying at JMC late into the evening, we will be happy to call a taxi for you.

Oral Presenters: The presentation set-up will include a standard PC (Windows) laptop computer; if you are using it, please transfer your presentation file to that computer during a break before your presentation. Alternatively, speakers may use their own laptop computers, but note that the time it takes to switch computers is included in the allotted time. Please try to bring an appropriate connector if you use a Mac computer.

Poster Presenters: Poster boards for A0-size posters will be set up in the Visitor Center. You can: (A) leave your poster on the poster board overnight, from Friday evening until the end of the Get-together Party on Saturday; or (B) if you don't want to leave your poster unattended, take it down after the poster session on Friday ant put it up again on Saturday for the second poster session. Keep in mind that all JMC visitors, not just symposium attendees, will be able to see the posters that are on display during the day.
