Young Scientist Activities at EAAP in Dubrovnik!

On Monday in the afternoon session the Young Train Session: Dairy Innovative Research and Extension (No. 11) will take place in Room Elafiti 3. 14 young scientists will compete for the Novus Award. Don’t miss exciting presentations!

On Tuesday during the lunch break (12.30 – 14.00) the first Speed Dating Event of the EAAP will take place! We selected 4 different fields of research (Cattle Genetics, Precision Livestock Farming, Health and Welfare and Pig Production) and found excellent representative from the livestock industry, EU-projects and research institutions. For each field, we’ll have 3 top experts. The aim of this event is to give you the chance to “date” and talk to them in a relaxed atmosphere during lunch. Together with two other young scientists you will have a table together with an expert from your favorite field. There’ll be 3 rounds of dating, so that you get the chance to “date” every expert from your field during the event! There are only limited places available, so don’t hesitate to apply for a seat and send an email with your preferred field to christian.lambertz@unibz.it.

On Wednesday during the morning session, the Young Scientist Session on “How to design your career for the livestock industry?” will take place in room Olipa 1 (start: 8.30). Marija Spehar from the Croatian Agricultural Agency, Arnulf Tröscher from BASF and Jason Keegan and Colm Moran from Alltech will present us their views on this exciting topic! During a round table discussion you have the chance to direct your questions to these experts! In the second part of the session, the pan-European initiative ‘EURAXESS – Researchers in Motion’ will be presented. It is a network of more than five hundred Service Centres located in 40 European countries. Finally, from 11.30 – 12.30 the Social Meeting of Young Scientists with drinks and snacks sponsored by EAAP will take place. During the meeting Isabel Ortigues gives a very short talk on the journal ANIMAL and gives the chance to ‘Meet the Editor’.
