Annual Research Forum 2016

The next edition of the Annual Research Forum will take place on March 3-4, 2016, at theCampus Biotech’ in Geneva. The ARF offers the opportunity to meet our peers (old and new) and get an update on all the fascinating research carried out at the Center, and the latest logistic developments.

 

Given the importance of the occasion, this annual meeting is compulsory for all NCCR members. The members of the Graduate School will also receive credit for their participation, and a prize will be awarded to the best student poster based on its scientific excellence and accessibility to all disciplines.
