We will start on Monday, June 27th at 2pm and finish on Wednesday June 29th around lunch time. Therefore, almost all of you could arrive in time and catch an outbound flight/train on Wednesday.

We made single-room reservations for all participants. We only have a limited number of rooms at Hotel Zuiderduin. The number of participants is, therefore, limited to 100. Please understand that we need to assign the hotel on a first-come first-served basis.

If you wish to arrive earlier to stay for additional nights (92,50 Euros per night, including breakfast and taxes) or if you wish to bring your partner and book a double-room instead (additional 40 Euros per night, including breakfast and taxes) please let us know. We will arrange the reservation, and you will pay directly at the hotel at the end of your stay.

To keep the Forum to about 80 – 100 participants, we decided to invite only group leaders from European countries. The registration rate is 390 Euros, which includes full accommodation (inc. tax).
|
|
Oral Research Presentations
|
|
Approximately 30 talks of 20 minutes, including discussion. If you are interested to give a research talk, please upload a word document with a title and brief abstract (maximum: 350 words) at the end of the registration form. Please understand that we cannot give everyone the opportunity to present. We will consider that the number of speakers from each country is reflected by the total registrations for this country. The oral presentations will be selected by the local organizers and the ECBnet advisory board.
|
We have included a poster session to stimulate interaction between participants. In strong contrast to regular conference posters that show detailed recent research findings, we propose an informal poster session in which the overall research topics, research lines and method overviews from the individual group leaders are presented. This session will balance the oral presentations that focus on recent specific research findings. Please indicate whether you wish to present such a poster in the registration form.
|
In this meeting we will discuss the activities over 2021-2022, our webpage, the date and place of the next EBCnet Forum meetings and the EFIS European B cell Summer School.
