Become a part of the Young Scientist Forum

The Young Scientists Forum of the DGBM is organising the Young Scientists Day on Wednesday, 9 October 2024 from 13:00 .
On this day, there will be a programme especially for young scientists. 
In addition to a keynote and panel discussion on the topic of ‘Artificial Intelligence in Biomaterials Research’, a Young Scientists Session (open topic) will take place. In this session, we would like to give young scientists (without a completed doctorate) the opportunity to present their research in a small setting in front of other young scientists. 
Finally, we would like to round off the day with a get-together. 
We would like to invite you to present your research in a scientific talk during our session (in addition to the poster presentation at the main conference). 
Please send your submitted abstract to us: ysf@dgbm.org (do not be confused by the error message - the mail came to 😊)
We will then review the applications and get back to you as soon as possible.
