There were about 30 participants in-person and 40 participants online. In addition to the field of particle physics which is mainly concerned with the observation of the gio-neutrinos, there was a lively discussion on connectivity to common scientific interests with the participants from a variety of fields, such as mantle excavation, geochemistry, geophysics, geology, seismology, marine engineering, marine microbiology, etc. It is planned to hold symposia, public lectures and student lecture series under the same theme during 2022.
