YSF Programme
Overview
The 23rd FEBS Young Scientists' Forum (YSF 2024) will start on Wednesday June 26, 2024 with an inspiring opening lecture and a welcome dinner. Throughout the event, attendees will hear fascinating talks from the keynote speakers (Patricia Monteiro from the University of Porto, Ana J. Garcia-Saéz from the University of Cologne, David Jeruzalmi from the City University of New York, and Marco Moracci from the University of Naples "Federico II") and will have opportunities to present their own research as oral presentations and/or posters. Complementing the scientific program, 'Careers Skills' sessions and 'Practical Exercises' will provide valuable insights into essential skills and early-career options.
Over the course of the YSF there will be plenty of opportunities for participants to enjoy making new international connections and getting to know each other. There will also be a chance to meet FEBS Excellence Awardees (early-career group leaders) attending a concurrrent FEBS Excellence Awardee meeting, who will join us for keynote lectures, coffee breaks, meals and social events.
The YSF will close on Saturday June 29, 2024, when we will transfer to the FEBS Congress.
