Frontiers Retreat Brussels, October 2023

The fourth edition of the ESACT Frontiers Retreat is taking place 18th to 21st October 2023 in Brussels.

These meetings are dedicated to Early Career Scientists (ECSs) working in the advancing cell technology and related fields. We aim to continue engaging the next generation of ESACT scientists and to encourage those who have not attended previous ESACT meetings to actively participate in this community.

Frontiers Retreats are not classical meetings: they are built on a range of sessions focussed on career and personal development, stimulation of alternative thinking emerging from interaction with peers across a broad range of subject areas and level of experience, and promoting active networking among all participants. They also aim to stimulate scientific discussions and help to bridge the gap between industry and academia.

The Scientific Sessions are an amazing opportunity for ECSs to present their work, with most of the oral presentation slots being reserved for the ECSs selected from the high-quality abstracts submitted. There are also two very engaging poster sessions and there are prizes for both the best oral presentation and the best poster presentation.

The Career and Personal Development Sessions will help you to develop transferrable skills and extend your professional network. Few things are as important for an ECS: take this opportunity build upon your skills and network!

This meeting is open to the entire community, including non-ESACT members.

So, submit your abstract and save the date: 18th – 21st of October 2023.
