2009 ANNUAL SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE

Date: 6-8 April 2009
Venue: University of Oxford Examination Schools, Oxford, UK
Registration: via the Dynamic Events Ltd website

Information
The UKNSCN Steering Committee is delighted to announce that the UKNSCN’s second annual scientific conference will take place in Oxford from 6-8 April 2009. Registration is now open via the link above and will be restricted to approximately 500 delegates. Attendance is open to delegates from overseas. Two nights' accommodation is included in the registration fee for those who require it, and will be offered in the surrounding Oxford colleges all within easy walking distance of the Examination Schools. Reduced fees again apply for UK-based PhD students who present a poster and local/regional delegates who decline the option of accommodation. The conference will again feature poster presentations (up to 100) and a trade exhibition with an increased number of stands (approximately 50). Based on our experience at the inaugural conference, demand for poster and exhibition places is likely to be high. You are therefore advised to register as soon as possible.

The conference programme features the second Dame Anne McLaren Memorial Lecture, which will be delivered by Professor Janet Rossant from the Sick Children’s Hospital in Toronto, Canada, and includes keynote presentations from leading UK and international speakers. The meeting will again largely be a celebration of the latest in UK stem cell science, and also includes 6 parallel sessions following feedback received from the research community after the inaugural conference. An optional conference dinner will be held on the second evening (7 April) in a marquee at the stunning St Hilda’s College, concluding with an eminent after-dinner speaker to be confirmed shortly. Places at the conference dinner are limited to 400, therefore you are advised to register early to avoid disappointment.

The provisional conference programme is available for downloading from this page and is also accessible via the registration site itself. Please note that the programme is subject to minor change as the conference approaches.
