Selection criteria
We will give preference to young researchers from Europe, in particular young lab heads (less than 5 years independent positions), post-doctoral fellows and PhD students. The selection from this group of applicants will be based on the quality of the science outlined in the abstract. We will also consider selecting individuals whose research would substantially benefit from attending this workshop. For post-doctoral fellows and PhD students we will ask for a letter of recommendation from their supervisor to help clarify the benefits attending the workshop will have for their career.
In the event of the workshop being oversubscribed, the organizing committee will select individual participants based on the following criteria:
- Scientific content of abstract
- Scientific relevance of conference to participants own work
- Number of participants from the same lab and
- Date of application.
Abstract guidelines
Participants are welcome to submit abstracts on these topics, (but not limited to):
- The secretory pathway and unconventional secretion
- Trafficking and disease
- Endosomal/ lysosomal pathway and beyond
- Regulation by signaling mechanisms
- The inter-organelle communication at membrane contact sites, their role in lipid transfer and autophagy
- Signaling, membrane traffic and metabolism
- Membrane mechanics
Abstracts must be submitted using the online abstract submission link. Do not fax, mail or e-mail your abstracts, as they will not be considered. All abstracts must be submitted in English.
Poster specifications
Please bring one printed copy of your poster:
1m x 1.5m (length x height)
The posters will be available for viewing throughout the entire meeting. Each person will give a brief oral presentation. In addition, participants may display ‘virtual posters’ (e.g. live demonstration of research on presenter's laptop).
Travel grants and registration fee waivers
A limited number of travel grants and registration fee waivers are available for participants.
Applicants do not need to apply separately for these but should indicate on the registration form if they wish to be considered.
Selection of awardees is handled directly by the organizers. More information is available on the EMBO Travel Grants' page.
