Call for abstracts

In principle the abstracts will not be made available outside of the meeting, so you can safely present your unpublished data. There are some rules about the languages used for presentation, so please have a look at the opinion of the organizers .

★Oral presentations

We can accommodate about 24 oral presentations, mainly from the following 3 categories, but we welcome applications that do not fit in these categories as well. In case of too many applications, we will select among them, so please make sure to fill in the participation Google form and send the filled-in abstract form to This email address is being protected from spambots.

• Category 2: Technical workshop (Examples of success (or failure) in introducing a new experimental technique, e.g. CRISPR, optogenetics etc. If you have any other ideas for a presentation topic, please indicate it in the comment section).
