IMCBio+ Scientific Day 2026 will take place on June 11, 2026, at the University of Strasbourg – Le Patio. The purpose of this seminar is to bring together members of the different research clusters for scientific discussions and to foster potential collaborations and future perspectives. The seminar will be structured around scientific sessions highlighting the major research themes developed within the different clusters, as well as examples of collaborative initiatives bridging multiple clusters and disciplines. The afternoon program will focus on fostering scientific discussions and interactions between researchers, while also providing visibility to the work of young investigators through poster presentations and selected short talks. We strongly encourage PhD students and postdoctoral researchers to submit abstracts for:
  • Poster presentations
  • Short talks (10-minute presentation + 5-minute discussion) 
Registration and abstract submission are now open The deadline for abstract submission is May 27, 2026. Selected short talks will be presented at the beginning of the afternoon thematic round-table sessions and will serve to introduce and stimulate discussions around the different scientific themes covered by the IMCBio+ Research Clusters.]]> Calendar https://mitocross.unistra.fr/news-calendar/calendar/event/?tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=26891&cHash=28c8c3491f85e4fb17921c5c060766b9 Mon, 18 May 2026 09:49:00 +0200 IMCBio Summer School 2026 in Strasbourg https://mitocross.unistra.fr/news-calendar/calendar/event/?tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=26826&cHash=29d7cea99e6d12ac47e4365ee1acbe91 You are a second year bachelor student?
