EGC 2020 Webinar Schedule
The 2020 European Glycoscience Community (EGC) Webinar Series featuring cutting-edge glycoscience research from Europe and beyond.
Our webinar series is co-organized by the EuChemS Division of Glycoscience & recognized by the European Chemical Society.
A series of free to attend webinars to highlight the innovative and ground breaking glycoscience research in Europe and globally. This is part of the EGCs long-term vision in establishing a European-wide glycoscience research network with strong links to leading scientists from around the world. The webinar series is open to all international scientists and will provide a platform for young and established researchers to network, share ideas, and build long-term partnerships with other international glycoscience organizations.
If you are interested in participating as a speaker in the series, please complete the Expression of Interest form and a member of the team will be in touch.
