既にお伝えしているように、Travel Awardには、アジア地域を中心とする16カ国から過去最高の126名に及ぶ応募がありました。池中一裕Travel
Award選考委員長を中心とした選考委員会において、選考作業を行いましたが、質の高い応募が数多くあり、選考は困難を極めました。採択枠の都合により、高いレベルに達していても採択できないものが数多くあり、大変残念でした。今年採択されなかった方も、来年以降の年次大会のTravel
Awardへ是非またご応募ください。
激戦を勝ち抜いた31名の受賞候補者は以下の通りです。大会中に開催される総会内で授賞式を行います。会期中に会場で受賞者を見かけた場合には、どうぞ温かくお迎えください。また受賞者は懇親会にも招待いたしますので、ぜひ会員の皆様も懇親会に出席し、他国で活発に研究を行う研究者との交流を深めてください。
