Meet the Professor

This Nexus will have unique "Meet the Professor Breakfasts" (MTP).

Friday, April 16 8:00 - 9:00
Saturday, April 17 8:00 - 9:00

The purpose of these sessions is to provide young trainees and junior faculty an opportunity to meet personally with active senior state-of-art professors who can provide insights in their field as well as career guidance in a small interactive group setting.

We plan to offer 23 tables targeted to different hot topics. Each table will include an established state-of-art professor(s), one or two experienced moderators, and around 10 attendees, so all attendees are guaranteed a small and intimate interactive discussion group.

Complimentary breakfast would be available to attendees.
Call for MTP Proposals

　FOR FOREIGN PARTICIPANTS
In order to make discussions more active and international, each MTP table has 2 extra reserved seats for foreign participants. Even if your desired MTP theme appears "Full" on the online application form, please check with the secretariat by email as to whether these reserved seats are still available.
Your email should include:

Registration closed
- Your name;
- Your email address; and
- Desired MTP theme.
Subject of the message should be "MTP foreigner seats."


Please note:
- Due to space limitations, seating for each table is limited. Applications for these MTP sessions will be accepted on a first-come first-served basis. Once the maximum number of attendees is reached, applications will no longer be accepted.
- Standing room will also be available (registration not required). However, please take care not to disturb the progress of the session.
- Standees would be allowed to view several sessions.
- The MTP is a new feature of ISN, and the Local Organizing Committee is doing our utmost to ensure its success in Kyoto. We would be grateful for your understanding and support.
