60th Anniversary of JFOS
October 18-23, 2021
On-line Symposium

Oceanography for future we want: transformation of our society in the changing sea
Invitation to the Symposium A series of Japanese-French Oceanography symposia has been co-organized by the two Japanese-French Oceanographic societies in Japan and France. They both aim at promoting scientific exchanges between the two countries and hold regular symposia alternatively in Japan and France since 1983. In continuity with the last symposium in 2017 at Bordeaux, France, the 18th Japanese-French Oceanography Symposium would take place in 2020 in Tokyo, Japan, for the commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the Japanese-French Oceanographic Society of Japan. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, it was not possible to hold this symposium in October 2020; in May 2020 it was decided to postpone the symposium to October 2021, but the coronavirus pandemic continues unabated. We have therefore decided to organise a web-based symposium from Monday 18 to Saturday 23 October 2021. Considering the time difference between Japan and France, we have changed the general oral presentations to web-based poster ones. However, 12 selected presentations will be given orally via the web.
