Poster Awards funded by the following sponsors will be presented in the closing session on Friday:
Open Research Europe (ORE)
RNA Society
Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS)

Career Development

The meeting will include a Career Development Lunch, where young investigators can meet with scientific leaders from academic, industry and governmental institutions.  If you wish to participate as a mentor or mentee, please indicate this during registration and you will receive a follow-up survey to select discussion topics prior to the meeting.
