Scientific Symposium

“EXPLORING LIFE DYNAMICS: In and out of equilibrium”

ENABLE is more than just a regular conference. Participants will have opportunities for a scientific exchange through short talks and poster presentations, and will also be able to share their personal experiences with other peers and guests during career chats and networking activities.

The scientific program will cover a broad range of topics, from fundamental biology to translational medicine, and touch upon multidisciplinary research projects and integrative omics approaches.

This year, the symposium will feature lectures from 8 highly-renowned keynote speakers grouped into four sessions that cover driving topics of modern research.

Further scientific activities

Round table with peers

On Wednesday, 12th of May, we will organize a Round Table debate where our attendees will have a unique opportunity to interact with scientists and leaders from academia and industry and gain insight into their career paths, obstacles they have encountered and how they overcame them as well as their general views on life in Academia. Moreover, attendees will be able to choose topics and lead the flow of discussion.

Short talks

PhD and PostDoc attendees will be selected to present their current results and goals, alongside renowned speakers, in 15-minute presentations, including questions from the audience.

Poster sessions

Students are invited to present their own work in four poster sessions during the scientific days of the symposium.
