Under the pandemic of the COVID-19, it has become extremely difficult to hold face-to-face academic conferences. This situation prevents graduate students from building networks between researchers. In order to solve this problem as much as possible, we hold an online meeting for graduate students who have just submitted their master’s theses on field linguistics this year. We would like participants to build a researchers’ network through this meeting.
