Canceropole-GSO

The Cancéropôle GSO is glad to announce the fourth edition of its scientific event devoted to young researchers, to be held on 23 - 24 May 2017. 
This 2-day coaching event will involve presentation and discussion of recent findings and future projects in the scope of Nanomedicine in Cancer, from molecules to devices. The format of the meeting (focused scientific research themes, less than 40 participants, full pension in an isolated – yet beautiful – place) is deliberately designed to foster exchanges and communication between junior and senior scientists and strengthen research networks between the Great Southwest labs.

 Objective 
This workshop aims to allow young researchers to improve their ongoing projects and enhance the quality of their future publications. Selected candidates will have the opportunity to present and discuss their work with renowned experts in the field:

• Patrick Couvreur, Institut Galien, Paris 
• Jean-Louis Viovy, Institut Curie, Paris
• François Berger, Clinatec & CHU, Grenoble................

A training session on publication strategies will be provided by Sébastien Lecommandoux, associate editor at Biomacromolecules (ACS Publications).

 Audience 
10 young researchers (from advanced postdocs to young group leaders) will be selected for the coaching of their projects.
Additional 10 young researchers, affiliated to the teams of the selected candidates, will be invited to attend the workshop and benefit from such a unique experience.
Participants selection will be made upon the scientific quality of projects and candidates' resume.

Registration is free.
A deposit of 100 € will be requested (bank check to "Cancéropôle GSO"). It will be cashed if the participant does not show up at the workshop.

Deadline to submit your application : March 25th, 2017
