► The 8th Symposium of the Young Physiologists is cancelled due to coronavirus concerns!
Dear all, we are very sorry to inform you that - due to concerns regarding corona virus infections - we had to cancel the 8th Young Physiologists Symposium .
Please stay tuned for any updates on the meeting, since we are currently discussing on whether to hold the meeting later this year or next year.
We are sorry for any inconveniences caused by the cancellation and hope to see you soon!
Best wishes and stay healthy, your Young Physiologists!
Dear all,
It's a pleasure for us to announce the 8th Symposium of the Young Physiologists to take place in Marburg on March 12/13, 2020 (klick here for a comprehensive flyer).
This meeting is an opportunity for you as young scientists (Master/PhD/MD students, young PostDocs) to present your data to and discuss your data with your peers in a more informal setting. We believe the talks and poster sessions will be a great opportunity for networking with other young scientists and deepening your understanding in other fields of physiology research. To strengthen our connections to other early career societies, we will this year cooperate with the Forum Junge Wissenschaft and the Young DZHK.
The symposium will take place in Marburg, a beautiful city that has been heavily influenced not only by the (first protestant) University, but also by its architecture from the middle ages. Today it is a vibrant university city that manages the balancing act between modern urban demands and celebrating its rich architecture and history. We hope to welcome you here next year!
The (extended) abstract deadline is set for January 23rd. When submitting your abstract (250-300 words, submission to jpmarburg2020@gmail.com) please include your name, full affiliation, a provisional title and whether you want to present it as a talk or a poster. Please also spread the word of this meeting in your research groups. We also plan the Social Dinner in the Welcome Hotel (buffet, around 30€). Please tell us, if you do not want to take part in the Social Dinner.
As for the last years, registration is free and the DPG provides travel grants for active participants (up to 250€).
We thank our generous sponsors: +++ von-Behring-Röntgen-Stiftung +++ CSL Behring GmbH +++ Jung-Stiftung +++ Marburger Universitätsbund +++ Deutsche Physiologische Gesellschaft
