About the meeting

banner

The EMBO Young Scientists Forum (EYSF) is an annual EMBO initiative that aims to bring young European researchers together in an informal atmosphere in order to inspire students and postdocs to pursue a career in the life sciences. The meeting is a great opportunity for PhD students, postdocs and junior investigators to interact with Europe's most promising scientists and members of the EMBO Young Investigator Program.

 

In addition to attending the science talks, you will have an opportunity to present a poster of your work and some abstracts will be selected for a short oral presentation. In addition, you can join informal discussions with the speakers and other invited guests on a career in science and participate in short workshops to improve important skills.

 

The 9th EYSF is organized by the EMBO members, young investigators and EMBO installation grantees from the Gulbenkian Institute for Science, Lisbon, Portugal. The meeting will be held at the Gulbenkian foundation, a spectacular location that also houses world class art museums and a full orchestra. The foundation is located near the center of Lisbon, an ancient captivating Atlantic city at the mouth of the Tagus river, the political and cultural capital of Portugal.

Abstract Guidelines

Abstracts should be headed by a brief title and no longer than 300 words. Remember, the participants come from diverse backgrounds. We encourage you to be conceptual and focus on the big picture!

About the Area

The EMBO Young Scientists' Forum will be held at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation that houses a world class art musem, museum of modern art (CAM) and famous orchestra.


The foundation is surrounded by shady gardens that present a cool refuge from the sometimes hot city. In the immediate surroundings there are several café and restaurant options (see map) that are walking distance from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation venue site. The meeting site is located just north of the city center. Major sites are just a short subway ride away. Of note are "Alfama", Lisbon´s oldest and most famous district that houses the old Moorish castle and “Bairro Alto”, where most of Lisbon´s nightlife is concentrated.
