Dear friends and colleagues!

It is our pleasure to invite you to the FEBS3+ LS2 Annual Meeting 2020 with the topic "Cells, Molecules & Organisms", held on February 13-14, 2020 at the Irchel Campus of the University of Zurich. The LS2 Annual Meeting brings together scientists from all nations and backgrounds to explore the large spectrum united under the umbrella of Life Sciences. 

For the first time in 2020, the LS2 Annual Meeting 2020 will be jointly organized with the German Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (GBM) and the Austrian Association of Molecular Life Sciences and Biotechnology (ÖGMBT). Also for the first time in 2020, a Young Scientists' Satellite will take place at the Campus on the afternoon before the Annual Meeting (February 12, 2020).
