Online symposium
We are thrilled to host the 3rd ScienceAbroad Life Sciences Symposium - on September 15th, 2022
General registration will is now open
We at ScienceAbroad are continuing with our commitment to connect between Israeli researchers abroad and academia and biotech in Israel. The lecture sessions will feature selected talks from Israeli postdocs from around the globe and will include a unique networking session with members of the Israeli academy. We invite all researchers, from both academia and the biotech industry to join! This event will be held live using Zoom and will be broadcasted on Facebook live.
