IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
After cancelling this year’s symposium given the current circumstances, but identifying an exceptional interest from your side, the BSC SO Doctoral Symposium organizing committee has decided, however, to go forward with the digital publication of the Book of Abstracts of the 7th BSC SO Doctoral Symposium. As you know, every year it is digitally published under the UPC commons license. (Access here the BoA of the previous BSC SO Doctoral Symposiums.)
We are aware that many of you had planned and worked really hard in order to submit your abstract for the 7th BSC SO Doctoral Symposium on time. For this reason, the submission has been reopened and it is extended until April 15th, 2020 EOB.
We believe working together in this will give us strength and bring us together and we encourage you to participate and submit your work and be part of this singular’s edition.
