ABOUT THE EVENT
Welcome to our first joint conference co-hosted by the Treesearch of Sweden, the FinnCERES of Finland and the BioProducts Institute of Canada! The event will showcase the cutting-edge research activities by the world class researchers from the three flagship institutions.
The event will take place on Gatherly, a virtual conference platform where you can walk around in virtual rooms using your avatar and connect with other participants you find for an instant video chat. Aren't you excited to try that out and mingle with fellow researchers in avatar? Seating is limited and the registration will close on May 21st. Register today to save your spot!
The conference is open to those who are associated with any of the three organizations. All the researchers including PhD students and postdocs are encouraged to submit their abstracts for presenting their research in the parallel sessions.
