Scientific Advances Track

 

                                                                                   

 

The “Scientific Advances” track aims to present and explain the most recent discoveries in Life Sciences, before all stakeholders debate their implications for society.

Twelve themes will compose the scientific track, including each:
 
• Three “Talks” sessions: three leading researchers in their discipline will successively present an original or new aspect of the subject in short and dynamic twenty-minutes presentations, offering participants new perspectives in the field


• A round table of one hour and a half will bring together all stakeholders to debate with scientists the societal or ethical implications of these recent innovations. The discussion will enable participants to form a personal opinion on the subject
