For this year’s Symposium, we will fund 10 Grants on a competitive basis to cover the registration of graduate students and post-docs willing to present their work at the symposium. To apply for the grants submit an abstract together with a motivation letter.
Please note that the deadline for abstract submission is the 17th July 2014.
This year the event will run under the exciting motto – Capturing life in a pixel! The Symposium has been designed as a forum for those interested in the application of bioimaging tools for life and medical sciences, covering aspects ranging from imaging modalities to analysis and simulation.
The symposium will have the duration of two days, preceded by a hands-on workshop on bioimaging (held on October 15).
