About the Workshop

Over the past decades, this EMBO Workshop on Regeneration & Tissue Repair has become the key international meeting for scientists investigating basic biological questions in regeneration and repair using whole animals or organ/tissue "systems" approaches. This EMBO Workshop attracts scientists from all around the world, who would normally not meet, that have diverse expertise and use various research models from invertebrates to mammals. Each meeting approaches regeneration from different angles. This upcoming meeting will focus on the cellular and molecular relationships between development, regeneration and aging, regeneration-induced immune responses, cellular behaviour/signalling, the diversity of vertebrate and invertebrate research models and their shared or model-specific mechanisms underlying regeneration. This EMBO Workshop will also cover a more conceptual, i.e., historical, and philosophical approach to stimulate “out of the box” thinking about regeneration. This meeting is meant to propel our understanding of the field, the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms, stimulate discussions, and foster the development of new perspectives and collaborations. The overall goal of this EMBO Workshop is to significantly advance our understanding of how regeneration is coordinated in a whole animal or organ, providing new venues and opportunities to enhance the non- or reduced mammalian regenerative capacities and develop more effective therapeutic approaches to convert healing into regeneration.

Selection criteria

Participants will be selected by the scientific organizing committee on the basis of their abstract submission. Selected abstracts / participants will give their presentation either in the form of a 15min (10+5) presentation or a poster. Among the abstracts selected for a poster, a limited number will also be selected for a 2min Poster teaser talk.

The selection criteria are:

1. Quality and relevance of the abstract in regard to the topic of the meeting

2. Originality/novelty/contribution to the field (unpublished data will be favoured)

3. Fit to one of the sessions and contribute to stimulating exchanges

4. Gender balance of applicants

5. Career stage (priority given to PhD students, postdocs and early-stage PI’s)

6. Diversity of countries of origin

7. Diversity of research models, approaches, techniques

8. Previous attendance / repeat presenters

Abstract guidelines

Abstracts must be submitted in English and include the title, authors list, and affiliations (each affiliation should be listed once). Abstracts should be submitted with the agreement of all listed authors and organized in Context, Methodology, Results & Discussion.

Character limit: Up to 300 words max (title, author list and affiliations excluded).

Poster specifications

Poster size should not exceed 84,1 x 118,9 cm (DIN A0).

Travel grants and registration fee waivers

Travel grants and registration fee waivers are available for participants.

Selection of awardees is handled directly by the organizers. EMBO travel grants and registration fee waivers are allocated on the basis of the quality of the submitted abstract.
