Dear PhD students and post-doc of the iGPCRnet IRN

An on-site workshop is organized for you, the early career scientists of the IRN, entitled “Organoid models and microtechnologies development”.

The workshop will be held just before the iGPCRnet meeting in Strasbourg from Tuesday the 24th of October in the afternoon (starting at 14:30 in order to allow everybody to arrive on-site in time) to Wednesday 25th of October 2023 in the morning.

If you wish to attend the workshop, registration is mandatory and free of charges for the lab members of the iGPCRnet IRN : 

Registration will be closed when 25-30 attendees will be confirmed. REGISTRATION IS CLOSED

This workshop will allow you to discuss with experts who are willing to share with you the technical challenges that they have encountered. It will be the opportunity to meet other young scientists of our international consortium in a small group that allows a lot of informal exchanges and friendly scientific discussions. If you have any questions regardings the workshop, you can contact Sandra LECAT (sandra.lecat@unistra.fr) 

After registration, you will receive an automatic message from the registration site noreply@jotform.com that might be arriving in your junk mailbox, so please check-it.

See you soon and have a nice summer time meanwhile
