What is the Alumni talk??
To commemorate 15 years of successful ISS conferences, we will have an alumni talk and discussion event to kickoff the 16th ISS. Six graduates from Kyoto University Graduate School of Biostudies, will come and talk about their career and recent endeavors. The main purpose of this event is to help current students and young researchers see what there is after graduation.
We, the 16th ISS Committee, sincerely hope everyone will take this opportunity to see what could be next in store for them after graduation.

What is the ISS Symposium??
The International Student Seminar has been held for 15 consecutive years, bringing together amazing scientists around the world to visit the wonderful city of Kyoto and share their research at Kyoto University. This year we will continue that tradition by offering the Short Talk, Long Talk, and Poster Session; to provide an opportunity for students and young researchers to show their work to a diverse group of scientists. As this is open to all students in the biological field it gives exposure to new techniques and ideas from all parts of biology.
We, the 16th ISS Committee, sincerely hope everyone will speak up and talk to people from many fields, backgrounds, countries, and cultures.

What is the Overnight Retreat??
The Overnight Retreat is an annual event at the end of ISS. It is an opportunity to meet and talk with the participants of ISS in a less formal setting. It provides a chance to learn from each other, both academically and personally, about new ideas and perspectives. It is a night full of team-building activities and icebreakers. More details are to come.
We, the 16th ISS Committee, sincerely hope you will be able to attend and have a great time.
