[BiO BB] EMBL 10th International PhD Student Symposium

[PhD Student]

Dear Subscribers,

The 2008 EMBL PhD Symposium held at EMBL Heidelberg from October 23rd to
25th calls for applications from PhD students and young scientists.

The symposium is the 10th in a series of very successful international
conferences for young scientists, organized by PhD students of the European
Molecular Biology Laboratroy - EMBL. The topic of this year's symposium is
„Decision Making in Biology – Nature at the Crossroads". Four sessions will
adress decisions at different levels of complexity, moving from cells to
populations and from molecules to the animal mind. Confirmed Speakers
include Nobel Prize Laureate Tim Hunt (Cambridge University), Baroness Susan
Greenfield (Oxford University), Nenad Ban (ETH Zuerich) and Hans Schoeler
(MPI Muenster). Beside excellent lectures, the symposium offers an
interactive environment which is acclaimed by both the junior and the senior
scientists.

Online registration closes 31st August, we strongly encourage submission of
poster abstracts and applications for participant talks. The speakers will
choose a poster prize winner. Registration fee is 100 Euros and includes
accomodation and meals. Selected participants, e.g. the winner of the poster
prize, are refunded their registration fee.

Attached to this email, you find the Symposium poster. We would appreciate
if you can forward it to all young researchers at your institute and post a
printout of the poster at frequented locations.
