Selection Criteria

Given the limited number of participants, the following selection criteria will be applied to the workshop and symposium if the number of registrations exceeds our capacity: 

  1. Submission of work for poster presentation within the symposium thematic area.
  2. Academic background, prioritizing researchers, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and then undergraduate students
  3. Geographic distribution
  4. Gender balance

For the workshop, applicants will be required to submit a set of documents upon registration, including motivation and recommendation letters. 

Registrations options include two modalities:
  • Full event participation, including both the Pre-Event Workshop and the 2nd Symposium on Protein Design and Engineering
  • Symposium-only participation, convering only the 2nd Symposium on Protein Design and Engineering.
