The PhD Day will be a parallel session (taking place on the afternoon of 28 April and the morning of 29 April) during the conference dedicated completely to bringing PhD students using biotechnology for C1 utilisation together. The PhD students will be able to learn about the research done by other PhD students across Europe, network, and hopefully kick-off future collaboration and cooperation between them. Additionally, they will be able to attend the conference programme around the PhD Day to learn even more about trends and developments in C1 utilisation. |
