The format of the meeting (focused research themes, small audience & full pension in a carefully selected location) is designed to foster exchanges between junior and senior scientists and strengthen networks between the Great South-West labs.

Objective

The main objective is to help young researchers develop their career plans in a short-mid term. This workshop aims also to improve their ongoing projects and enhance the quality of their future publications. Selected candidates will have the opportunity to present and discuss their work with key opinion leaders in the field:

Participants selection will be made upon the scientific quality of candidates' resume submitted online. 

Scientific scope

Abstracts related (but not limited) to the following Axis 2 themes are particularly welcome:

• Genome organization & (in)stability in DNA replication, repair and cell cycle
• Chromatin & Epigenetics
• Gene expression : from transcription to translation
• Mutagenesis & Genomic alterations
