Future Scientists at LS2 AM25

We were honored to be joined by laureates of multiple Swiss contests:

Joel Tan from the National Contest, Nico Amstutz and Leora Schwengeler from the Biology Olympiade and Daniel Ratcliff from the Geneva Chemistry and Biochemistry Days 2025.

LS2 aims to do both - promote young scientists and promote Life Sciences to young people and general public. This multi-year collaboration with various student contests allows future scientists to attend our Annual Meeting, getting their first conference experience and expanding their network.

Congratulations on your achievements! LS2 team wishes you all the best for your future and hopes to see you again!
