Welcome to the 7th cryoNET Symposium which will take place Wednesday-Thursday the 16-17 October 2024 in the beautiful Main Hall "Aulaen" at Aarhus University, Denmark.
The symposium will highlight the latest discoveries facilitated by cryo-EM research and new directions that are emerging, through a panel of distinguished speakers. Furthermore, selected talks by participants and an interactive poster session will facilitate networking and insights to local expertises.
cryoNET is a Nordic network in cryogenic microscopy that aims to promote collaboration and knowledge sharing across national borders. A main goal is to help establish state-of-the-art cryo-electron microscopy as a strong pillar of Nordic life science research.
The core of the network is formed by the cryo-EM facilities at the University of Copenhagen, Aarhus University, Stockholm University and Umeå University. The network also reaches out to cryo-EM sites in Norway and Finland.
The cryoNET network is funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation and the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation.
The symposium is open to everyone interested. Registration is free of charge thanks to our highly valued funding.
We strongly enourage students and postdocs to apply to give talks about their research projects, by submitting an abstract (via the registration process or by email to karenb@mbg.au.dk by 20 Sept. 2024)
A number of abstracts will be selected for short talks. Selected speakers will be informed in early October.
Everyone participating is highly encouraged to bring a poster about their research. There will be a poster session for everyone during the symposium.
A poster prize will be awarded to the best poster.
The poster boards have the dimensions: 190 cm high, and 84 cm wide. This fits well with A0 poster format (which is 1189mm tall and 841mm wide).
The poster committee will select the best poster to be awarded the nice poster prize, which will be announced in the opening remarks on day 2 of the symposium. The poster prize is kindly sponsored by Thermo Fisher Scientific.
Registration includes two days of lectures, coffee and refreshments in the breaks, lunches both days, and a symposium dinner in downtown Aarhus on Wedneday evening the 16 October.
Registration is open and free of charge.
