Symposia and Seminars
Home > Symposia and Seminars

To publicize RIKEN's research achievements, we hold symposia and seminars on topics of major current interest.





DateTitleLocation
2010/10/24 - 2010/10/26 International Symposium on Plant Productivity Trent University, Peterborough, Ontario, Canada



RIKEN Symposia are listed in the table below. Please note that the title or date of the symposium may change. Click on the title of the symposium to view the program for symposia with fixed dates.
The RIKEN Symposia are intended as a medium for disseminating the results of RIKEN's research to a broad audience and are therefore open to the public. Additionally, abstracts of the symposia are donated to the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) to be included in the JST JDreamⅡpublications database.

Note: The entrance of the building on the RIKEN Wako campus are locked (except the Hirosawa Club and the Welfare and Conference Building). You will need to scan a RIKEN entry permit (IC card) to enter buildings. Please register and receive an entry permit at the guard station near the gate when you arrive at RIKEN.
