Selection criteria

We aim to maximize interaction between all participants. To achieve this, the number of participants will be limited to 120 for students and postdoctoral fellows (our main target group for this lecture series) and 20 speakers. In addition, a number of senior scientists with experience in different areas of mitochondrial biology will be invited (about 30 PIs in total). As previous courses have received a high number of applications from students and post-docs, the selection of the participants will be made by the organizing committee. We will try to ensure that the participants reflect the broad field of mitochondrial biology. Therefore, we will consider as many different research groups as possible, which may require limiting the number of participants from one group to two students. We will also try to balance different topics and model systems and give special consideration to emerging aspects of mitochondrial biology. As with the invited speakers (50% female), a balance between male and female participants will also be maintained in the selection of applicants.

Abstract guidelines

Submitted abstracts should be no longer than 300 words (including title).

Poster specifications

Each participant will be provided with a board measuring 180 cm x 96 cm (portrait format) on which to mount the poster. The poster should be designed to summarise current research in graphic form. Presentations should be self-explanatory so that the author is free to add and discuss specific points. For easy identification, the poster should have a title and author(s), identical to the one on the official programme. The poster board will be double-sided, with one presentation on each side. Your assigned number will be in the upper left corner of the poster board. The boards will be arranged in numerical order. Poster sessions will have a designated time during which poster presenters are asked to be available at their poster to discuss their research with meeting attendees.
