Prestigious speakers from academia and industry will give talks on various topics including but not limited to chemical biology and early drug discovery. Our virtual EU-OPENSCREEN training school will be accessible from scientists all around the world online. This year we are also hosting an open discussion session in which 5 distinguished scientists from the academic and industrial sectors will pose important questions on a topic that troubles many researchers concerning the Z’ factor in HTS. In this open discussion, we are aiming to engage the audience and together with our speakers to discuss fundamental issues on the topic!
Our target group? Everyone with an interest in science although young scientists are preferably welcomed for a great opportunity to meet distinguished speakers and discuss scientific, but also career questions, during the training school Q&A sessions.
Participation fee: free of charge
