Epigenetics and Behavior
Emergence & Convergence is series of one-day mini-symposia on biomedicine organized jointly by Nature Publishing Group and Fondation IPSEN
Each meeting in the series will aim to bring together a group of leading international speakers to address a topic of strong current interest and one which has elements both of new advances in the field – 'emergence' – and a developing consensus on the importance and integration of the new advances with existing understanding – 'convergence'. Where applicable, meetings will be cross-disciplinary in nature to facilitate and promote collaboration.
Meetings will be hosted by editorial staff from Nature Publishing Group, usually working closely with a group of local organizers.
The expected attendance for each meeting will be 100-120 delegates. Registration for the meeting will be free, and the delegates will be selected from among those applying to attend.
