NFDI4Microbiota Lunch-to-Lunch Meeting 2025In-Person Event

20 May 2025, 11:30 → 21 May 2025, 13:00 Europe/Berlin

Friendly Cityhotel Oktopus (Siegburg/Bonn)

This year's NFDI4Microbiota Lunch-to-Lunch meeting will focus on what we can still realize in this funding period, what our core products and services are and what the focus for the next funding period will be. The key questions will be: How can we bring our services to the community? What new measures do we want to include in the renewal proposal (e.g. data brokerage, AI) and what are the ToDos derived from the interime symposium?

The agenda is meant as a guide and may be modified to best serve the purpose of the Lunch-to-Lunch meeting. 

Registration deadline: 11 May 2025

We look forward to seeing you there.
