Every year, we organize the "NIMD Forum" to deliver to a broad audience information on the research and other achievements made by the National Institute for Minamata Disease, and also as a venue for networking and socialization among mercury researchers from Japan and abroad.
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the official recognition of Minamata disease in Kumamoto. To make the content accessible not only to experts and researchers but also to the general public, We are focused on preserving materials to pass on the lessons of Minamata disease to future generations.
We will be holding the event as described below this fiscal year, and we look forward to welcoming many of you.
