Third

"Young Investigators in Lipid Science"

Meeting

14-15 May 2018, Duesseldorf, Germany


This meeting is aimed at fostering collaboration between emerging scientists (young group leaders) active in different aspects of lipid science in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. To this end the meeting is limited to 20 participants. All participants are encouraged to give 20 min oral presentations on their research focus to enable active discussion and future fruitful collaboration between biologists, chemists, medical doctors and engineers from academy and industry with an interest in lipid science and lipid technology. 

The meeting will take place at the BASF campus in Düsseldorf from 14 (starting afternoon) - 15 May 2018 (until early afternoon). Registration is free. The conference dinner and a part of the travel cost of the invited participants will be sponsored by the DGF. The location and coffee will be kindly provided by BASF. 

Meeting language is English.
