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.
