CRS 2025 Bern

CRS Welcome Note

Dear Colleagues, 

We cordially invite you to attend the CRS Local Chapter Meeting Germany/Switzerland/Austria (DeChAt) on February 13 and 14, 2025 in Bern, Switzerland. We expect emerging and cutting-edge speakers from academia and spinoffs as well as poster presentations focusing on the research of young up-and-coming scientists. Take this opportunity to network, make friends among your peers, and start new collaborations. The fun won’t be coming shortly! The congress is held at the Auditorium Ettore Rossi in the University Hospital Inselspital in Bern, and, after the fruitful exchange of our ideas and new research insights, we will enjoy a dinner together on the river Aare. 

So please: SAVE THE DATE!
We look forward to seeing you in Bern in 2025!

Paola Luciani
Vice President of DeChAt Local Chapter and Chair of the organizing committee
