50th aniversary symposium of Primate Research Institute, Kyoto University

The 50th Anniversary Symposium of the primate research institute. Kyoto University "Past, Present and Future of Primatology" was held

As the memorial event of the 50^th anniversary of the Primate Research Institute, Kyoto University, we held an international symposium at the Freude (Inuyama Sightseeing Center) on January 30^th and 31^st, 2017. 161 participants attended the symposium.

On 30^th, Takakazu YUMOTO, Director of PRI, gave a speech at the beginning of the symposium. 10 invited lecturers, who are associated with Evolution and Phylogeny, Ecology and Social Behavior and Cognitive Science, gave their talks. During a social gathering which was held after the 1^st day of the symposium, lecturers, PRI faculty and staff and others talked about the old days and the future of primatology and spent a fruitful time.

On 31^st, 10 invited lecturers, who are associated with Neuroscience, Cellular and Molecular Biology and Laboratory Animal Science gave their talks. On poster session, 56 projects were presented by PRI members and they had active discussions each other.
