yESAO

With the promising results of the third y(oung)ESAO event 2011 in Porto the Rostock congress will again dedicate the day before the official congress start to a special meeting for students of all kinds, post-docs, clinicians, engineers, and scientists in early career stages. The yESAO activities aim at improving the interaction between young scientists whose research interests are focused on different organs and their support and replacement methodologies.
The activities will consist of social events on two evenings and one day of scientific and career talks. The first half of the day is dedicated to the organs heart, lung, liver, kidney and blood and the interaction between them. In the second half scientific career options and experiences will be presented.
