Stem Cell Network Early Career Researcher Symposium

Date: May 25, 2023
Location: Hotel Omni Mont-Royal, Montréal, QC

• Complete the registration form here by 11:59 p.m. (sender’s time), March 29, 2023. Registration may close earlier if the maximum capacity is reached. Registration does not guarantee acceptance, as spots are limited – so register as soon as possible!
• SCN management will review all registrations. SCN will support the travel and accommodation of up to approximately 40 ECRs; additional seats may be available without travel and accommodation support. Travel support will be administered on a first-come, first-reviewed basis. All applicants will be advised of their registration and travel support status by April 14, 2023.

• Attendees must be Early Career Researchers (individuals within the first five years of their independent academic appointment) working in Canada in the field of stem cells and regenerative medicine.
• Please note that SCN follows Tri-Council guidelines regarding ECR status, which currently provide a COVID-19 pandemic-related one-year extension to applicants who held ECR status as of March 1, 2020, or who secured their first academic appointment after this date.
• While ECRs will be prioritized for attendance, senior post-docs who are searching for independent academic positions are welcome to register and may be considered for attendance if there are additional spots available.
• If you’re unsure whether you are eligible to attend, please email Ellie Arnold at earnold@stemcellnetwork.ca for confirmation.
