Participants are invited to attend the Opening Ceremony, which will be held on Thursday 22 October at Hi-un-kaku, located in Tamamo Park. The former President Tomotoshi Okaichi, a world-famous red-tide researcher, will present his Opening Address on the Seto Inland Sea from 11:00 – 11:30 am. 

Our staff will be waiting at the West Gate of the park (Map B (1) in the Program Book) to provide you with a pass for free admission. Please tell our staff that you are attending EAEH 2015.
