Thank you, will check it out :100: Do you how much of space biological or space health researcher & developments there are in that association?

I’ve generally let AWG members in Japan suggest events, but if you think ideal, I’m willing to learn more :blush:

Not sure about the numbers. Came across this during the 14th Asian Microgravity Symposium. AFAIK, a few groups are working in Japan in collaboration with Korea, China and the USA.

Awesome stuff!
I was going to ask are all these conferences online? I’d imagine yes, but would have to look through them all.

Either way thank you for sharing!

A few of them yes. The list is also meant to help orient new AWG members to the broader field too, for which groups and association to keep in mind and follow
