Nordic Metabolomics Society Conference 2021
CANCELLED: 2nd Nordic Metabolomics Society Conference
Cancelled:
Due to the continued uncertainty caused by the corona situation, the 2021 meeting has been cancelled.
About the Conference
As host for the second Nordic Metabolomics Conference, NTNU welcomes everyone with an interest in metabolomics to join the conference to be held at the integrated university hospital campus. NTNU has a long tradition for metabolomics research, and the site is well equipped with metabolomics infrastructure relevant for many research disciplines.
The aim of the conference is to gather the Nordic network within metabolomics research. International Keynote speakers are invited to provide state of the art insight in various applications of metabolomics. The conference will be an important arena for cross-disciplinary exchange and discussion of current metabolomics research, and further to increase the collaboration and research networks among the Nordic countries. All attendees are invited to submit abstracts for posters and/or oral presentations. We especially encourage early career researchers to take an active role in this, travel grants will be provided by the Nordic Metabolomics Society and the Digital Life Norway Research School.
The Nordic Metabolomics Society was established in the Fall of 2017, with a mission to promote the development of metabolomics in the Nordic region by providing opportunities for collaboration, presenting research and facilitating training and mobility of scientists within the field and with connected areas in academia, industry and governmental bodies.
