Protein Quality Control

Welcome to the Young Scientist Symposium on Protein Quality Control.

It is our pleasure to host you during this two-day virtual symposium from September 23rd to September 24th 2021!

Fequently Asked Questions

How do I attend the symposium?

You should have received two emails in the last days. The email also containing the booklet holds the separate link to the flash talk and poster breakout session, this link will only be used during this session.

For all other sessions, a separate link should have been send to you from YSSPQC Host (no-reply@zoom.us). This link is unique. Please do not share it with others. If you have not received the separate symposium link, please contact one of the organizers.

Why can I not send in my abstract?

Abstract submission has been closed by the 15th of August, 2021. Nevertheless, you still can sign up to attend the symposium.

I filled out the application but did not receive a confirmation, was my application seen?

We will see your application as soon as you send the filled out form. Sadly, due to limitations of google forms, we are not able to send an automated confirmation email.

Do I need to register even if I only want to listen to the talks?

Yes, you still need to fill out the registration form. We will invite all registrees at a later time point with an individual link to join the meeting.

This link will not be made publicly available.

I am a group leader or senior scientist, can I also attend this symposium?

Yes, we would be very happy to have you! Our goal is to give young scientists as much exposure as possible and to allow them to present in front of a broad audience - including group leaders, senior scientists or anyone else in the field.

I am a group leader or senior scientist, can I give a short talk or flash talk at this symposium?

No, we would like to give the opportunities to present to young scientists in the field but we would appreciate if one of your students would like to present their data. Nevertheless, we are looking forward to you attending the symposium.

If you are a senior scientists and are currently applying for a group leader position, you can apply to give a talk. Please contact one of the organizers.

During the registration I made a mistake, can I correct this?

Yes, if you made a mistake in any of the fields except for your email address, please register again with the same email address you used the first time. The newer entry will be kept in the end. If you used the wrong email address or made a mistake, please contact one of the organizers.

Where can I find the program of the symposium?

You can find the final program here. You will find an excellent selection of talks from established scientists as well as ambitious young researchers covering a wide variety of aspects of Protein Quality Control. We are looking forward to stimulating talks, fruitful discussions and a lively scientific exchange!

Why are you organizing such an event?

With the current situation worldwide and a lack of options to attend conferences we felt that especially young scientists had few opportunities to present their data and promote themselves as integral part of our field. We wish to give such an opportunity with the Young Scientist Symposium on Protein Quality Control and are looking forward to your application.
