Sahlgrenska Academy Junior Researcher Symposium

The symposium will provide a forum to share your research and learn what others around you are doing. There will be selected oral presentations over the two days and a poster session on the 27th. The presenters will mainly comprise junior researchers (broadly defined as post-graduate students through to junior faculty), but the event is open to all. Don’t miss this opportunity to showcase your research and connect with the vibrant Sahlgrenska Academy community!

We are excited to announce that this year’s symposium will feature keynote speaker Professor Fredrik Bäckhed, who will share insights and experiences relevant to biomedical science.

A new meeting place

In addition to Sahlgrenska Academy researchers, you will have the opportunity to interact with representatives from a range of bio- and med-tech companies and representatives of the Sahlgrenska Academy Research Support Office.

Registration

There will be fantastic prizes for oral and poster presentations! There will be ample opportunities for networking in the form of poster session and an evening social event on the 27th January. Attendance is FREE to all Sahlgrenska Academy researchers.
