About the Workshop

Establishing the composition of RNAs and proteins that defines the identities and functions of cells relies not only on the regulated biosynthesis of these molecules, but also equally importantly, on their degradation. Although RNA and protein degradation pathways have been investigated separately, it is increasingly apparent that RNA decay and protein degradation systems cooperate to maintain cellular and tissue homeostasis, mediate developmental processes, and respond to environmental cues.

The purpose of this EMBO workshop is to bring together multidisciplinary experts in RNA decay and protein degradation, from young investigators to established leaders in their fields, and to highlight common principles and functional connections of these processes. The second edition of the workshop will explore the frontiers of knowledge at this intersection, including recent advances in understanding (i) the initiation of RNA and protein degradation by translational arrests or defective ribosomes, (ii) the regulated degradation of transcription factors and RNA-binding proteins, (iii) the role of autophagy and ubiquitin(-like) modifications in the turnover of RNA-protein complexes, (iv) mechanistic and conceptual parallels between the life cycles of RNAs and proteins, and (v) emerging techniques to query RNA and protein turnover.


About EMBO Courses and Workshops

EMBO Courses and Workshops are selected for their excellent scientific quality and timelines, provision of good networking activities for all participants and speaker gender diversity (at least 40% of speakers must be from the underrepresented gender).

Organisers are encouraged to implement measures to make the meeting environmentally more sustainable.

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.

Applicants do not need to apply separately for these but should indicate on the registration form if they wish to be considered.

Additional travel grants are available for EMBC Associate Member States Chile, India, Singapore and Taiwan.

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 measures at the meeting

Abstract books and programs will be shared in electronic form only.

We will have 1 vegetarian only day at the IMP cafeteria (3 warm meal options offered on each day, of which always 2 are vegetarian and on one day all 3 are vegetarian).

Food is locally sourced.

We will not use any plastic cups or plates.

We will provide refillable water bottles to all participants.

Transport

ARRIVING BY AREOPLANE

Airport to IMP
​There are two train connections from the Airport to the City. The metropolitan railway ("S7" = line No. 907 WIEN FLORIDSDORF – FLUGHAFEN WIEN – WOLFSTHAL and back; which usually runs every 30 minutes and takes 19 minutes to travel); and the City Airport Train (CAT), as well as a shuttle bus or taxis.

  • Regional train S7: The metropolitan railway S7 stops at “St. Marx/Vienna Biocenter”, which is 200 metres from the IMP. When embarking at the airport, the direction is given as “Floridsdorf”. The S7 is generally the fastest and cheapest public transport link to the IMP.
  • Express Train CAT: The CAT is an express train, but it only stops downtown at “Wien Mitte/Landstraße”, so a second connection is required to get to the IMP: take the 74A bus to the stop “St. Marx”. Combined, the journey may take longer than the S7.
  • Shuttle Bus: Alternatively, you can take a Vienna Airport Lines shuttle bus, which will take you to Vienna's central train station (Hauptbahnhof Wien). From there, the No.18 tram (direction “Schlachthausgasse”) will take you to the stop “Viehmarktgasse”, around the corner from the IMP.
  • Taxi: If you catch a taxi from the airport to the IMP, the ride will take about 20 minutes and costs around 45 EURO.

ARRIVING BY TRAIN

Travelling to Vienna by train, you will most probably arrive at one of the city’s two main train stations, either “Wien Hauptbahnhof” or the Vienna Western Train Station – “Westbahnhof”.

From “Wien Hauptbahnhof”, the No.18 tram (direction “Schlachthausgasse”) will take you to the stop “Viehmarktgasse”, around the corner from the IMP. The trip should take under 10 minutes.

Also from “Westbahnhof” the No.18 tram (direction “Schlachthausgasse”) will take you to the stop “Viehmarktgasse”. The travelling time from Westbahnhof is about 25 minutes.
