Request for oral/poster presenters

This international conference focuses especially on multidisciplinary aspects of researches to open up a topological view of nature. To achieve this goal, we planned each session to create integration of physical concepts among different material systems such as superconductors, superfluids, cold atoms, semiconductors, as well as insulators.

Since the participants are from a variety of research fields, we would appreciate your extra concern for introduction of your presentation, use of technical terms and brevity codes in your oral/poster presentation.

To enhance interdisciplinary atmosphere, please expect and welcome non-specialists' questions from the audience in the discussion.

Thank you very much for your kind cooperation.

For oral presenters:

Please note the following time allocation and leave ample time for discussion.

  • 50-min presentation: 45 min+5 min discussion
  • 30-min presentation: 25 min+5 min discussion
  • 20-min presentation: 15 min+5 min discussion
