Requirements for Presenters and JSME Membership Package

On Requirements for ROBOMECH2024 Presenters
and JSME Membership Package

The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME) limits the qualifications for research presentation lectures to members, sponsors, and sponsoring organizations.
For more details, please refer to this [link] (Japanese).This rule also applies to ROBOMECH2024.

JSME has prepared a membership package that allows you to join ROBOMECH2024 as a non-member or as a general student without paying the admission fee and the annual membership fee for 2024.
* Registration through the JSME Membership Package is non-cancellable and non-refundable. 
* The total amount may be cheaper if you register as a full-time member or a student member after joining without using the membership package. Those who have decided to join are recommended to join in advance.
* Students who enroll using the Membership Package will "not receive the journal", so those who wish to receive the journal should join without using the Membership Package.
