Yes, a paper booklet will be available at the conference with the abstracts and more… The electronic version will be available on the website.
Q: What is the blog for and how to participate?
A:
Because scientific ideas about "Numbers in Life Sciences" can be raised before, during and after the symposium, in Paris and elsewhere, and do not originate only from people who will be able to attend, we propose to open a platform where experts and non-experts will be invited to give their opinion, to ask questions and to participate in the debate.
Events such as journal clubs or brainstorming sessions will also be organised before the symposium, and information about these events will also be available on the blog.
Q: What kind of poster should I prepare?
A:
To allow discussion to occur between researchers from different fields, we propose you to design simple posters leading to open discussions with experts and non-experts. To this aim, we ask you to bring a A2 poster (40 x 60cm), consisting of your personal photo, one scientific picture (photo, graph…) you are really eager to talk about, 3 keywords/equations…
Q: What should I do if I have forgotten my password?
A:
Please, ask for a new one here.

A:
Registration fee covers your attendance to the symposium, lunches and coffee breaks.
