Selection criteria

Inclusiveness and diversity: at least one member of all participating groups should be able to present their research. Attention will be given to have the diverse topics and novel research directions in the different fields represented at the conference. There will be 25 abstracts selected for 15 min oral presentations.

Participants and oral presentations will be selected based on the scientific excellence. Participants not selected for oral presentations should present their work in one of the two poster sessions. A significant number of posters will be selected for introduction as flash talks just prior to the poster session.

Selection of abstracts for oral presentations and posters with flash talks will be done by consensus among the organisers, if necessary with input from ad-hoc members.

Child care grants

EMBO Courses and Workshops offers grants to offset additional childcare costs incurred by participants or speakers when participating at any EMBO Courses and Workshop funded meeting. Eligible costs include fees for a caregiver or child-care facility, travel costs for a caregiver, or travel costs for taking the child to the meeting etc. Please indicate on the registration form whether you would like to be considered for the grant. Please also describe how you intend to use the childcare grant and specify the sum that you will need.

Sustainability

We will minimize the use of printers and paper by having the final program, abstract booklet and all other information sent in a smart phone compatible version to all participants. In addition, we will recycle name tags or rather use simple fabric stickers. Also we will use a catering company that is sustainable. In addition, the CRTD is equipped with solar panels that produces part of the electricity consumed in a renewable manner. In addition, participants will be offered the MOBIbike option to travel between accommodation and conference venue as a sustainable and CO2-neutral transport option. It is likely that some overseas presenters will choose virtual participation, which would reduce travel related carbon emissions.
