The programme includes a specific session on the Bio-i3 initiative on June 4th. Two invited speakers will present their vision on the initiative and on possible research topics within it. The session will also offer an opportunity for the participants to present shortly their intention to set up a research proposal and need for partners or offer to participate in a consortium with their expertise. Furthermore, time has been reserved for participants to meet each other, the invited speakers or the EC staff.
