LINXS Young researchers' symposium II - Life Sciences


don’t miss this years’ LINXS Young researchers' symposium for Life Sciences!

During this 2-day event, specifically aimed at early career researchers, we will dive into science along with an ESS tour (23/4) and listen to (and mingle with) speakers from diverse sectors about career opportunities after PhD/Postdoc (24/4). 

Welcome to bring a poster to the poster session!

You can read more about the invited speakers and the companies/organisations below!

When: 23–24 April, 2024

Where: at LINXS (Scheelevägen 19, Lund), workshop room on the 5th floor.

Registration information: Please indicate in the registration if you would like to bring a poster to the poster session, and if you want to join the ESS tour (limited number of spaces!). Please note that the ESS tour is now fully booked.

Cost: The event is free of charge. Please note however that we have a no-show fee of 200 SEK to avoid food waste.

Aim: The aim of the symposium, which is the second one in a series, is to create a platform for early career researchers within life sciences working on X-rays and neutrons to meet, get inspired, establish new networks, and discuss ideas for their research. 

Who can benefit: PhD-students and post-doctoral fellows within life sciences who use, or are interested in using, X-rays and neutrons in their research. The event is physical at LINXS so early-career researchers have the chance to meet and network.
