Polish Science
Towards EMBL
19-20.06.2018 Warsaw, Poland

CONFERENCE

The objective of the conference is to celebrate Poland's way towards accession to the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and to enrich this process with the scientific symposium bringing together Polish and world’s leading experts and researchers in the field of biomedical research.

The scientific symposium and information part about the EMBL will be held in parallel as it is a unique opportunity to consolidate the community involved in molecular biology and to provide biology students, PhD students and researchers with comprehensive information on possibilities of cooperation with the EMBL. Information on career opportunities for students, PhD students and researchers will be provided. Participation of EMBL Alumni is envisaged.

If you are interested in the event please register here not later than 15.06.2018

Organizing Committee:

Prof. Agnieszka Dobrzyń, Director of the Nencki Institute
Prof. Leszek Kaczmarek, Polish Representative to the EMBL Council
Dr hab. Ewelina Knapska, Group Leader at the Nencki Institute
Dr Paweł Boguszewski, Nencki Institute Director's Representative for IT
Marta Rucińska, Office of International Cooperation and Project Management
