CNES and JAXA. Some selected ADEOS Science papers will be presented on
January 27.
(2) Sensor teams and science teams will meet on January 28 and January 29 and
in the morning of January 30. If you wish to make a presentation in your
sensor or science team meeting, please contact your team leader as soon
as possible.
(3) The closing session will be held in the afternoon of January 30, and

Sendai, located approximately 300 km north of Tokyo, is now the largest city
north of Tokyo with a population of about 1 million. It takes 1 hour and 40
minutes to travel from Tokyo to Sendai by Tohoku Sinkansen Bullet Train. The
Sendai International Center is located in west Sendai, 10 minutes by bus or
25 minutes on foot from the Sendai Station.
ADEOS PIs, members of sensor teams, and science teams will receive detailed
information such as the provisional agenda, registration instructions, and
hotel reservations by the middle of November. If you are not an ADEOS PI but
wish to participate in the Workshop, please contact the Secretariat of the
Third ADEOS Workshop:

Notes
(1) Please note that JAXA generally does not provide financial support for
Workshop attendees.
(2) Citizens of countries that do not have Reciprocal Visa Exemption
Arrangements with Japan must obtain a visa from a Japanese Embassy or
Consulate before entering Japan. Sometimes it takes over a month to
obtain a visa. If you wish to attend this Workshop and you must obtain a
visa or you do not know whether a visa is necessary or not, please
contact a Japanese Embassy or Consulate in your country as soon as
possible. Citizens of China and countries which composed the former
Soviet Union, such as the Russia Federation and the Ukraine, are strongly
recommended to quickly contact the Secretariat of the Workshop, because
it takes an especially long time for them to obtain an entry visa to
Japan.
