Participant profile

In order to facilitate the integration of different disciplines and different academic levels in the congress, as part of the application process participants are asked to select the groups to which they feel they belong mentioned below. Groups A and B refer to the different academic levels and groups 1, 2 and 3 to the different scientific disciplines. Thus, for example, a PhD student in ecology will be grouped as B3 and a master student in cell biology will be grouped as A1.

This group includes bachelor's, master's and master's students who have just finished their master's degree and are currently looking for a doctorate or a job.

Group B - The Seniors

This group includes PhD students (including recent PhD graduates) of any year and postdocs. These applicants are encouraged to be active participants.
