Welcome Letter
Dear ÖGMBT Members, dear Colleagues,
After two very successful online meetings we are pleased to announce the 14th ÖGMBT Annual Meeting to take place LIVE in Vienna, at the new University of Vienna Biology Building.
Life Sciences have been in the forefront in the past two years and have achieved many breakthroughs in a short span of time. To underline the importance of our sciences we will hold our meeting under the title:
“Life Sciences – now more than ever”
Monday, September 19 will be dedicated to talents and careers. The first live “Life Science Career Fair” caters to the booming job market in Life Sciences and gives talents (students, early career researchers and seasoned scientists) the opportunity to meet recruiters from various companies/institutions.
In the late afternoon we will officially open the 14th ÖGMBT Annual Meeting followed by the bestowal of the prestigious “Life Science Awards Austria 2022”, including the awardees presenting their work.
For the next three days (September 20-22) of scientific meeting, we have chosen topics across all specialties of Life Sciences, so that everyone finds something of interest. Invited plenary speakers will share state-of-the-art research and young scientists will be presenting their work in short talks and posters.
After two years of online meetings we all crave for personal interaction. We will provide ample opportunities for networking, discussions with speakers and colleagues in breaks, at social functions like the cherished “Wine & Science” evening etc.
The ÖGBMT Annual Meeting is the melting pot of life sciences in Austria and we encourage you not only to listen to sessions of your own specialty, but to peek into subjects you might not be dealing with on a daily basis. Many colleagues who peek into “foreign areas” have said that this expanded their horizon, that it gave them a twitch of new ideas and let them meet colleagues of other fields which sometimes led to creative collaboration.
“More than ever” we look forward to great science, open discussions and f2f networking. See you all in Vienna!
Sincerely,
Michael Sauer
Chair Scientific/Organizing Committee
Expand your horizon
The ÖGMBT Annual Meeting is one of the most significant scientific events in Austria in the molecular biosciences. Topic wise it is a very broad event, including medical aspects of the life sciences, applied aspects and a diverse set of basic research. It is a good mix of invited international talks and talks by students (all in English), a company trade show including exhibitors quiz and many networking activities.
It is a true melting pot bringing together top experts for exchange, showcasing the work of early career researchers, helps the attending students get a notion of the field and allows everyone a look beyond the horizon of their own specialization and shows what is happening in Austria in the field of life sciences.
