Are you a Life Science or Engineering researcher interested in cross-disciplinary research? Join a networking event to connect with others in both fields and foster collaborations in a friendly and approachable atmosphere. Thegoal is to facilitate collaborative research by providing topics where both communities can contribute and find common ground.

The workshop holds particular significance to meeting Life Science community members in the context of the cutting-edge ’cell-to-internet’ paradigm, where the Internet of Bio-NanoThings (IoBNT) envisions a transformative connection between biological cells and the Internet. IoBNT seeks to revolutionize biomedical technologies, advancing molecular communication, integrated systems, bio-nanosensors and synthetic biology to enhance human health and quality of life. Postdocs and professionals from both Life/Biomedical Sciences and Engineering are invited to this participating workshop where you can forge connections and build up networks; identify collaborations, joint projects and user cases; and learn new inspiring research topics from another discipline. Take your research to the next level! Participants will discover a workshop program with keynotes lectures on interdisciplinary work in biomedical engineering, project sessions on both technical and biomedical topics, panel discussion with experts, a relaxed poster session with drinks, a tailored networking session with small group work on networking strategies and even a coaching session on how to prepare cross-disciplinary grants and projects. You are also invited to actively present your research topic with a talk or poster to get into conversation with your colleagues from both fields. This workshop isn’t just about learning; it’s about actively engaging with the two communities and contributing to the collaborative spirit that may define the future of healthcare.
