Welcome
The RiboClub Annual Meeting aims at encouraging the exchange of ideas and stimulates collaborations between RNA biologists around the world. The meeting covers different topics related to the chemistry, structure and biology of RNA with emphasis on upcoming and debatable biological questions. In addition, every year the RiboClub puts the focus on a local or regional RNA group to highlight their efforts and introduce them to the international community.
The meeting format provides principal investigators the opportunity to present their point of views on the current state of knowledge and ignite the curiosity of young scientists. The meeting size and its format give ample opportunity for discussions and interactions, so bring your thinking hat to uncover the next big idea.
Registration fees are subsidized to encourage the participation of students and upcoming researchers. All laboratory members are invited to attend, listen to the presentations of leading scientists and participate in poster competition.
