Ph.D. students from VIB, Belgium, are organizing the “VIBes in Biosciences 2014” symposium which aims to bring together Ph.D. candidates from different areas in life sciences. This symposium is organized to stimulate networking, listen to renowned speakers, including a Nobel laureate, and transfer skills through workshops.

The symposium will take place from 17 to 19 September 2014 in the Horta venue in Antwerp, Belgium. The symposium offers an exciting scientific program with topics that concern every doctoral student. In addition, workshops are offered that provide hands-on practicals on key skills to help Ph.D. candidates during their studies.

Importantly, the Organizing Committee of the symposium has set aside a budget to reimburse travel costs and attendance for a limited number of visiting international Ph.D. students. In order to reach as many Ph.D. students as possible, we would appreciate it very much if you could forward this e-mail to everyone whom it may concern.

In attachment, you can also find the poster announcing the symposium.
