Student competition
The Czech Society for Structural Biology invites all student presentations at the XXII Discussions in Structural Molecular Biology and the 9th User Meeting of CIISB to compete in two categories:– Prize of the Czech Society for Structural Biology for an outstanding student poster– Prize of the Czech Society for Structural Biology for an outstanding student presentation. The competing author must be a student (undergraduate or post-graduate studies) or a fresh PhD (less than one year from the defense of PhD thesis) at the time of the Discussions. A maximum of three prizes will be awarded in each category at the end of the Conference. Each talk prize includes a monetary reward and poster prize a book related to structural biology or molecular biology selected by the winner.
Instructions and information
Make sure you arrive with sufficient time left before the start of the program, as some of you have accommodation in a certain distance from the Conference venue.
For the main meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) we must split into two groups. Your name tag will have a mark (a sticker or similar) which means that you dine downstairs in the restaurant of the Castle. No sticker – you dine on the main floor.
We ask speakers to copy their presentation on the conference room computer well BEFORE the session and the chair persons to help speakers test their presentations. There will be strict timing of the lectures, unless marked otherwise in the program, you have 15 minutes to speak and 5 minutes for discussion. We are planning to broadcast the talks to the Castle library, therefore we kindly ask the speakers to use the electronic pointer (rather than a laser pointer) – it is a good idea to train yourself before the start of the session.
The poster session in the Blue saloon (just in front of the entrance) will be held on Friday evening. The posters (size 92 x 118 cm) should be put up after Friday lunch and taken down after the poster session or on Saturday morning. Some poster boards will use pins, some glue tag (žvýkačka), these will be provided.
