Welcome to EAPS 2023!
The European Molecular Biology Laboratory Australia Postgraduate Symposium (EAPS) is EMBL Australia’s student-developed symposium, held annually over two-to-three days catering to Honours, Masters, and PhD students.
Join us in a decade of celebrating postgraduate study in Sydney from 1-3 November
This year, EAPS 2023 is ‘moving forward through collaboration’! EAPS 2023 is all about highlighting (and facilitating) projects that celebrate and demonstrate collaboration in science. Our exciting interdisciplinary sessions such as ‘where science meets art’ and ‘solving the problems of tomorrow’ will bring together research and scientists from a variety of fields within molecular biology. Who knows – maybe you’ll even meet your next collaborator!
Prizes will be awarded for all presentation formats
