Key dates to remember
The Symposium will be held on 30 November-4 December 2003 Abstracts are due by 3 November 2003 Registration* by 3 November 2003
*late registration (after November 3, 2003) will incur an extra $50.00
Target audience
The workshop should prove useful for all researchers working at related areas in the Academia as well as Industry, at levels ranging from beginners (advanced Ph.D. students or equivalent) to senior researchers. The round table at the closing of the conference should be of particular interest also to policy makers and management at both communities.
Scientific Program
The scientific program includes invited presentations, a round table discussion panel and a poster session open to all who register. The submission of topics is open to all working in the aforementioned fields.
Language
The official language of the Workshop will be English.
Poster Session
A contributed poster session open for all on biosensors, biochips and nano-biotechnology projects, is being organized in order to enable interaction between the scientists. The organizing committee wishes to urge researchers from these fields to submit their work to this session.
Abstracts Deadline: 3 November 2003
The abstracts booklet will be distributed to the symposium participants and to the public and be posted on the website of the Institute for Applied Bio-Sciences. www.bgu.ac.il/IAB/
