2020 Working Group Meeting in Kyoto, Japan

The ACC Working Group Meeting will be held as scheduled. Many colleagues intending to participate in the meeting may be concerned about the impact of the coronavirus. So far Kyoto is not seriously affected, but some of you should have difficulty in attending the meeting due to travel restriction. It will be more informal style meeting where we can discuss about the progress of our studies. If you would like to participate via Skype or Zoom, please contact to the ACC Coordinating Center at cc@asiacohort.org.
