ELLS Student Scientific Conferences
The ELLS Scientific Students Conferences (SSC) give students the opportunity to present their research projects or thesis to a broad international audience. The themes of the conferences are different every year, but can be seen from any discipline in the life sciences. Next to the possibility for students to learn from each other, scientific experts are present to give critique to the students’ presentations and to give insight in their field of expertise. The conference is a way to formally and informally engage with fellow students and experts.
THE 2015 EDITION OF THE ELLS STUDENTS SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE WAS HOSTED BY CULS PRAGUE (INFO)
THE 2016 EDITION OF THE ELLS STUDENT SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE WILL BE HOSTED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF HOHENHEIM (IN NOVEMBER 2016)
