Short talk:
New! Flash poster presentations:
In a very short time (45"), contributing authors will highlight their main findings, in order to raise the visibility of posters and stimulate symposium attendees to visit them during the poster session.
All poster presenters are kindly requested to prepare and display their abstract in this format, too.
2 prizes: best poster presentation and best short talk!
Special, for PhD candidates:
There will be workshops with symposium speakers in the morning of October 30 between 10:00 – 12:00h. The Cardiovascular and Metabolism (CVM) program of the UNIL Life Science Doctoral School attributes 1.0 ECTS for PhD students who participate in the LIMNA symposium on October 29 AND in one of the workshops on October 30 (equivalent to a "mini-symposium credit" for CVM candidates). Please first register to the symposium, and then indicate your workshop preference via the link here.
Deadline for abstract submission extended to 15.09.2019
Deadline for registration only : 01.10.2019
We have reached the maximum number of participants (capacity of the auditorium). Shall you nevertheless be interested in joining the symposium, please send an email to info@limna.ch to be added to the waiting list.
