YSP (Young Scientist Program) 2019​

​

On behalf of the 27th FAOBMB-44th MSBMB Conference Organizing Committee, we are delighted to invite young scientists to participate in the Young Scientists Program (YSP 2019) which will take place at Taylor's University Lakeside Campus, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from 15 – 18 August 2019.

​

 YSP 2019 will bring together registered PhD candidates and early career scientists of not more than 10 years post-graduate experience from IUBMB Constituent Member countries/regions to attend and present their research work at the 27th FAOBMB-44th MSBMB Conference. YSP 2019 offers the opportunity for these young scientists to share and exchange scientific experiences, present their work to an international audience, meet internationally renowned professors and promote their scientific future and career.

​​

We encourage all PhD candidates and early career scientists to submit their applications for the YSP Travel Fellowships. The fellowship contributes towards partial or full traveling expenses. The awardees will participate in the YSP at no cost and will be exempted from the costs of registration and accommodation for the 27th FAOBMB & 44th MSBMB Conference, Kuala Lumpur (19th - 22nd August 2019).  We look forward to receiving your application and to welcoming you to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia​.
