Invitation to join the FEBS 60th anniversary symposium, Wed 27th of November at BBB.

The event will be informal and fun and will include exciting new science from UiB (session 1), an innovation session (session 2) with visits from Maija Slaidina from Sarsia, Bengt-Erik Haug from KinSea Lead Discovery and Dorinde Kleinegris from Norce, and a keynote lecture held by Jan Terje Andersen from Oslo University Hospital.

In addition to the short talks, there will be a “reuse your old poster” – poster session. The poster you bring does not need to be recent, or filled with your latest results from the lab, you are MEANT to bring an old poster that you (or your colleague) already have lying around. This session will be a great opportunity for everyone to present and discuss their science. There will be a 1000 NOK poster prize for the best poster, and we will serve pizza (sponsored by the Bergen Biomedical Research School).

If you do not have an old poster, print two A3 sheets and use them, or let us know and we can help you!
