13TH ICPS CONFERENCE - JAPAN: POSTPONED UNTIL 2023

The 13th ICPS Conference - Japan has been postponed another year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Due to the globally continuing health concerns with the COVID19 pandemic and related restrictions to travelling, the 13th ICPS World Conference organizer team has decided to postpone the conference by another year.

Our new plan is to hold the conference in Himeji City in May-June of next year. We will announce the specific dates as soon as we have reserved the venue.
