Join us as we formally conclude the SEB Annual Conference (Prague) with the Diversity Lunch; a celebration of equality, diversity, and inclusion initiatives in bioscience.
This year, we are honoured to welcome Hania, the UK Programme Lead at Native Scientists, as our keynote speaker. Native Scientists, a new SEB partner, is dedicated to connecting children from migrant communities with scientists from the same background. The aim is to promote scientific literacy, and reduce inequalities through science outreach educational programmes, and provide vital role models. Don't miss Hania's insights into using science communication to bridge cultural divides and foster meaningful connections between science and society. She’ll also be sharing how SEB members can get involved.
Additionally, we are delighted to announce the return of our survivors’ raffle, offering a chance to win prizes from SEB and our sponsors, including tickets to next year's conference. Places are free but limited, so book in advance to secure a place.
