October 18~21, 2024
We are pleased to invite you to the 19th Aslla Symposium. The Symposium, now in its 8th year, serves as a platform for participants to share their research and perspectives related to globally challenging issues in the field of science and technology and seeks to promote collaborative research and the development of global networks between Korean researchers and their international colleagues.
This year’s symposium will be held at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) S&T Convention Center from October 18th to October 21st, and will feature presentations and discussions on the theme, The Future of Neurotechnology: Advancing Precision and Translation. Prof. Jinhyun Kim from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), Prof. Thomas McHugh from RIKEN and Prof. Chulhoon Kim from Yonsei University are the organizers for this event and will serve as chairs for the symposium.
As your in-depth knowledge of matters relating to this year’s theme would certainly be of interest to the attendees, we would like to invite you to be a main speaker for this event. This role would entail giving a talk and sharing your insights on the future of neurotechnology in human health. We thank you for your consideration, and look forward to having you be a part of this event.
