The conference offers a variety of discussion sessions, lectures and social events. Through working across boundaries and linking the various fields, it serves as a platform for both intra- and interdisciplinary exchange and is a great opportunity for extensive scientific discussions among peers and faculty, and also a fertile soil for new, innovative ideas.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13px;"><b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px; font-family: Calibri; color: rgb(192, 80, 77);"> </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13px;"><b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px; font-family: Calibri; color: green;">Conference Structure<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13px;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px; font-family: Calibri;">Keynote Lectures<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13px;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px; font-family: Calibri;">Discussion Sessions<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13px;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px; font-family: Calibri;">Student Lightning Talks<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13px;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px; font-family: Calibri;">Poster Presentations<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13px;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px; font-family: Calibri;">Round Table Discussion<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13px;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px; font-family: Calibri;">Social Event <o:p></o:p></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; line-height: 13px;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px; font-family: Calibri;"> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 13px;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px; font-family: Calibri;">We are looking for original high-quality submissions containing innovative research from all fields relating to the HBP research programme.
