MICROBES AND CLIMATE CHANGE
17-18 October 2015
Tsuchiura, Japan
Dear Microbial Ecology Colleagues
After a big success in the 6th KJT international symposium, Seoul, we strive to make our next symposium, the 7th Japan-Taiwan-Korea (JTK) International Symposium on Microbial Ecology. The symposium will take place at Kijo Plaza in Tsuchiura, Japan, on 17-18 October, 2015. In the same place, the 30th Annual Meeting of Japanese Society of Microbial Ecology (JSME2015) will be held from 17th to 20th October, 2015.
We are planning a vibrant scientific program, based on the theme, “microbes and climate change”, and co-organized with English sessions of the JSME2015. Opportunities for young as well as senior researchers will be considered for session conveners in the symposium.
Tsuchiura City is situated about 65 km north of Tokyo and along the western shores of Lake Kasumigaura, the second biggest lake in Japan. It takes 70 min. from Tokyo to Tsuchiura by local train and 45 min. by express. The venue, Kijo Plaza, is at the center of downtown Tsuchiura, facing Kijo Park (Tsuchiura Castle remains).
We invite you to this stimulating symposium and are looking forward to welcome you to Tsuchiura.
Sincerely yours,
Koji Hamasaki, PhD (Univ. of Tokyo)
Program Chair of the 7th JTK Symposium
Hiroyuki Ohta, PhD (Ibaraki Univ.)
Chair of the JSME 2015 and the 7th JTK Symposium

Invitation
We would like to welcome you to the Joint Meeting of Japanese Environmental Microbiology-related Associations 2014, which will be held in Hamamatsu (the second biggest city in Shizuoka, Japan) from 21-24 October 2014, hosted by Japanese Society of Microbial Ecology, Japanese Society of Soil Microbiology, and Japan Society for Environmental Biotechnology.
This is the first joint meeting of the three societies and we expect this meeting to provide a deeper understanding of the accumulated knowledge of environmental ecology, microbiology, and biotechnology.
Finally, we welcome you all again to the exciting joint meeting in the beautiful city of Hamamatsu, and to the beautiful fall season of Japan.
