Hosting the 2022 Annual Meeting of BioEM in Japan
BioEM is the world's largest and most highly recognized bioelectromagnetics conference attracting
academic and industrial participants at all career stages from all over the world. The core members ofJapanese Commission K submitted a proposal of hosting BioEM 2022 in Nagoya to theBioelectromagnetic Society and European BioElectromagnetics Association. Their decision will be資料12-Kannounced soon.
