On September 24-25, 2020, the NOCI retreat will be organized for NOCI PhD-students/Postdocs (on invitation only).

ONLINE
8-9 July, 2020

Researchers from different disciplines, organizations and countries will meet at EUROoCS 2020 in an open and dynamic atmosphere to share their knowledge, expertise and ideas. EUROoCS 2020 is a unique opportunity to start new collaborations or strengthen ongoing partnerships in the innovative and challenging field of Organ-on-Chip (OoC). The EUROoCS network of over 200 members will be built up further and attract many more researchers, including group leaders, but also young and upcoming scientists. EUROoCS will facilitate and stimulate the dialogue and multidisciplinary interaction between all parties involved in order to accelerate adoption of the promising OoC technology.

Topics
The EUROoCS 2020 conference is a scientific meeting covering all aspects related to research, development and application of OoC. Topics such as micro- and nanoengineering, microfluidics, tissue engineering, organoids, (multi)-organ models, standardization, upscaling, qualification, regulatory aspects and disease modeling, among others, will be addressed.

Format
The format of the conference is similar to EUROoCS 2019 in Graz last year:
– Two-day meeting
– Keynote lectures
– Two parallel sessions
– Interactive poster session
– Plenty opportunities for interaction, networking, exchanging results

This year due to the corona virus outbreak the meeting will be online, for more information on the annual EUROoCS meeting see here.

Several NOCI PhD-students and Post Docs will present their research, by oral of poster presentation, at the online EUROoCS 2020 meeting!

The International Society for Stem Cell Research has transformed its annual scientific meeting ISSCR on 23-27 June, into a virtual experience, bringing the global stem cell community together to share knowledge, collaborate, and network.

Join ISSCR and your colleagues for The Global Stem Cell Event – and take part in live Q&A, connect in networking hubs, browse the digital poster hall, explore a vibrant, virtual exhibit floor, and enjoy on-demand viewing of all sessions 24 hours a day. One low registration price now includes workshops and special sessions. The virtual event format means you will now have unprecedented access to world-renowned stem cell scientists and educational and professional development sessions.

Learn more about the full program, high-caliber speakers, and explore the workshops and special sessions that are incorporated into the virtual meeting this year.

The EUROoC conference series aims to gather the research leaders in the emerging field Organs-on-Chip (OoC) with a special focus on young and upcoming scientists. The extremely interdisciplinary field of OoC research is rapidly growing while new and innovative systems are constantly being developed. However, a variety of engineering challenges are remaining, which the OoC field has to address as a whole to enable a sustainable growth of this breakthrough technology.

The EUROoC is a scientific meeting focused on the challenges in the process of designing, fabricating, and implementing microphysiological cell culture systems addressing topics such as microfabrication of 3D matrices, integration of miniaturised sensors, microfluidic interfacing, cellular engineering, parallelization and automation.

Topics
EUROoC 2019 Conference covers all aspects related to the research, development and application of Organ-on-Chips. Scientists and developers are invited to submit their original contributions in one or more of the following topics:

• Micro- and Nanoengineering
• Microfluidic interfacing
• Actuators for dynamic culture environments
• Integrated sensors
• Cellular engineering
• 3D cell culture environments
• Scaling
• Automation
• User-friendliness
