Invitation to participate in the Life Sciences with Industry 2015 Lorentz workshop

Leiden, November 16 - 20, 2015
 We invite PhD students and postdocs from all branches of the life sciences that like to participate in the one-week Life Sciences with Industry 2015 Lorentz workshop in Leiden: November 16 – 20, 2015. During the workshop, the about 40 participants tackle in groups of eight six scientifically challenging and commercially important problems formulated by six companies. The workshop will take place in Leiden in the building of the Lorentz Center, an organisation that is specialised in organising scientific workshops (http://www.lorentzcenter.nl/). To create multi-disciplinary teams, participants will be selected based on their (i) specific background in the life sciences, (ii) motivation to participate, and (iii) date of registration.
Registration on the workshop website: http://www.lorentzcenter.nl/lc/web/2015/762/info.php3?wsid=762&venue=Oort
Deadline: Sunday October 18, 2015.
Participation is free of charge, including hotel accommodation during the workshop. Also lunches and two workshop dinners are covered.
The workshop is sponsored by the Lorentz Center, the Research School BioSB (http://biosb.nl/), STW  (http://www.stw.nl/) and the companies involved.
