LINXS Young researchers' symposium - Life Sciences

Welcome to the LINXS Young researchers' symposium - Life Sciences!

When: Monday March 13, 09:00 - 16.00 CET including lunch and poster session mingle.

Registration deadline: March 7, 2023. After that date we cannot guarantee lunch. A no-show fee of 200 SEK will be charged in case of non participation without prior notification.
Where: at LINXS (Scheelvägen 19, Lund), 5th floor.
Organisers:
Daniel Sarabi, LINXS (daniel.sarabi@linxs.lu.se)
Swati Aggarwal, MAX IV (swati.aggarwal@maxiv.lu.se)

Aim: The aim of the symposium, which is the first 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.
