The 27th annual meeting ofthe Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness

July 2-5, 2024, TOKYO

Sponsorship Prospectus

Greetings
The 27th annual meeting of the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness
will be held on July 2nd - 5th, 2024 at the University of Tokyo, Hongo Campus (plannedto be held at the Ito International Research Center, etc.).
The Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness (ASSC) is an international
academic society founded in 1994 for the scientific study of consciousness. It is the world's
leading society for the study of consciousness and has held an annual conference everyyear since its foundation (with the exception of the last year when it was halted due to theCOVID-19). The participants are highly interdisciplinary, ranging from 300 to 500
researchers from a variety of research fields, including cognitive science, neuroscience,
human intelligence, medicine, and philosophy.
Currently, the majority of consciousness research, which is at the frontier of scientificinquiry, is carried out in the Western world, especially in Europe. There are many young
researchers in Japan who are interested in consciousness research, but there are few
opportunities for them to directly interact with the world's leading players.
By holding ASSC27 in Japan, we hope to increase the interest of Japanese scientists
in consciousness research, to raise the level of research in Japan, and to create opportunities
to discover and train the next generation of consciousness researchers. Your understanding
and cooperation with ASSC27 are much appreciated.
