  • Sponsorship Prospectus
    Sponsorship Prospectus Ver.1.4 Greetings Neuroscience has evolved by leaps and bounds over the past 20 years, and has rapidly advanced beyond the boundaries of the humanities and sciences to become cross-disciplinary. Advances in brain science and brain medicine are uncovering the mysteries of dementia and neurological and mental disorders. For this reason, a Meeting is becoming even more important, as a place where researchers can exchange the latest research results, disseminate information about new technologies, and pursue the challenge of new discoveries and breakthroughs. The theme of the 44th Annual Meeting is "Towards global neuroscience," and we here aim to create a Platform that will bring together, in Kobe, neuroscientists from around the world, and especially from China, Japan and Korea, and foster a new collaboration in neuroscience. Though all of us may maintain a safe physical distance from each other due to COVID-19, let us create a gathering of enthusiastic researchers in search of new findings and ideas, and let’s communicate with each other. Let's take neuroscience to the next level and create new values through lively discussions among participants! How is neural information transfer determined through synaptic connections between neurons and glia in a neural circuit? How are behaviors generated by an integrated system governed by brain information dynamics? How does bi-directional communication between individuals lead to mental interaction, empathy with others, consciousness and self-realization? We are entering an exciting era in which we can academically challenge and address these multifaceted mysteries of the brain and the mind. We hope that researchers and members from all over the world who are contributing to the frontiers of neuroscience will gather in Kobe, Japan, and will create an opportunity to break barriers and make a better future in neuroscience research.

    MJJIS2013 MJIIT-JUC Joint International Symposium 2013 A memorial event celebrating the 40th Year of ASEAN-Japan Friendship and Cooperation Nov. 6-8, Shonan Campus, Tokai University, Hiratsuka, JAPAN Organized by JUC (Japanese University Consortium) MJIIT (Malaysia-Japan International Institute of Technology) Supported by Tokai University Universiti Teknologi Malaysia MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in Japan) MOFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan) JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) Welcoming Messages from General Co-chairs It is my great pleasure to welcome all participants to this MJIIT-JUC Joint International Symposium 2013 (MJJIS2013), which is a memorial event celebrating the 40th Year of ASEAN-JAPAN Friendship and Cooperation. This symposium is held at Tokai University, Hiratsuka, Kanagawa, JAPAN between November 6th and 8th. Japan University Consortium consists of 25 Japanese universities participating not only in steering of this symposium but also in the establishment and further development of MJIIT. International collaboration nowadays has been a widely acknowledged, research trend. In such research endeavor, multi-cultural and interdisciplinary atmosphere is a key factor to incubate challenging spirits and supporting environment for pioneering a new research field. This symposium exactly serves such a purpose because the main objective of the symposium is to promote communication and dialogue among young researchers, engineers and students from different countries. This symposium covers the fields of Electronic Systems Engineering, Mechanical and Precision Engineering, Environmental and Green Technology, Management of Technology, Information Technology and Communications, and Medical Biotechnology. Three keynote speeches and approximately 190 research papers will be presented. I would like to take the opportunity to thank the researchers and postgraduate students for their contribution and dedication to MJJIS2013.
