Registration to the pre-symposium is now open, click here!

Ahead of the 35th BioCity Symposium: VISION, EXPANDED (27-28 August 2026), a group of doctoral researchers at BioCity Turku is organising the 2nd BioCity Pre-symposium on the afternoon of 26 August 2026.

The pre-symposium is intended as an informal platform for early-career researchers: PhD students, postdoctoral researchers and master’s students to connect, exchange ideas and get to know each other ahead of the main event. The aim is to create a relaxed and an interactive setting that encourages discussion and networking across different research areas.

The programme is planned to include two poster sessions, a few short talks and time for informal interactions over drinks, coffee and snacks. More details, including registration, will be shared soon! Please follow updates on the BioCity Turku website.
