Auditoire Maisin
Dear IoNS members,
We are excited to announce that this year's IoNS Young Researchers Day will take place on Tuesday 30th of April 2024 in Auditorium Maisin, Brussels Woluwe campus.
What is Young Researchers Day?
This internal conference gives the young researchers at the Institute an opportunity to present their planned, ongoing, or completed work to their peers and colleagues in a friendly environment, gain constructive feedback, practice before presenting at larger scientific conferences, and receive recognition for the best presentations.
In particular PhD students are encouraged to present their projects. Master students interested in pursuing a PhD in the future are also very welcome to present.
We further welcome the PIs to attend this meeting to provide valuable feedback and support their students.
The day of young researchers' presentations in form of talks, blitz talks, and posters, will be complemented by an invited keynote lecture, and many opportunities to socialize over coffee, delicious lunch, and post-conference drinks.
Keynote Speaker
We are excited to announce that this year’s keynote lecture will be given by An Ansom who will give a talk entitled: "Research and Emotions: How to be a scientist... and human".
Abstract submission (talk/poster/blitz talk)
Those who wish to present should submit the abstracts of their presentations before the 30th of March, using this form:
