Program (Under construction)

In this section you will find all about the Symposium Program – from an overview, through a detailed program (in the form of a PDF booklet), to the Book of Abstracts (also a PDF). 

 

Schedule overview (tentative)

The symposium spans five days, with four keynote talks and oral and poster presentations. Details on the submission would be announced by Dec. 2024.
There would be many social events, including symposium banquet and half-day excursion. Details on the registration types would also be announced later in the year.

Call for Tutorial Proposals

As a new initiative, we will be hosting optional paid tutorial sessions on the weekend preceding the symposium at this year’s conference. The purpose of the Tutorials program is to enhance knowledge and provide hands-on training in cutting-edge topics relevant to tardigrade research. Current plans include the following topics:

A. Utilizing tardigrade genomic resources
B. An introduction to TardiVec, including hands-on training
C. Tardigrade culture: tips and tricks

We are also welcoming proposals or suggestions for additional tutorials.

Please contact Kazu Arakawa (gaou at sfc.keio.ac.jp) by E-mail with the subject line containing “Tardigrada2025:” for proposals or suggestions for tutorial sessions.
