The 8th Annual Meeting of The eDNA Society

Public Symposium “Development of environmental DNA research through interdisciplinary fusion”

Purpose of the event

In this symposium, with the slogan "Development of environmental DNA research through interdisciplinary fusion", we will invite experts from different fields to give lectures on the latest research results and technological developments that capture the potential of environmental DNA from multiple angles, with the aim of promoting fusion with different fields that have been rarely intersected so far. By combining knowledge and perspectives from different fields, we are convinced that environmental DNA researches have greater potential than ever before and can contribute to solving social issues. We hope that this symposium will not only be a place for environmental DNA researchers to gain new knowledge, but also for people in other fields to discover the potential of environmental DNA, and to inspire future joint researches and new projects. We look forward to your participation.
