Fourth SAB meeting, CID symposium and first CID retreat

It is time for our fourth CID symposium! And we are honoured that four members of our Scientific Advisory Board will join us: Jay Belsky (Davis, USA), BJ Casey (New York, USA), Mark Johnson (London, UK), and Nick Martin (Queensland, Australia). Everyone interested or involved in CID is more than welcome to join. The first three editions of our symposium were good for around 100 participants and we hope for just as a successful edition this year.

We are aiming at an interactive program with inspiring talks and discussions on a wide spectrum of subjects, ranging from genetics all the way to ethical aspects of DNA research. There will also be plenty of time to meet all our experts during lunch and our concluding high tea.

On 19 and 20 April 2018 the next Scientific Advisory Board meeting and CID symposium will take place. Furthermore, following the CID symposium on 20 April, CID PIs and researchers will enjoy our first CID retreat. The preliminary programme is as follows:
