There is a premiere in the field of NCL-research and networking for the NCL-Foundation. The “1^st JNCL PhD Symposium” is organized by the NCL-Foundation and takes place from Friday, July 29, till Sunday, July 31, 2011. The location for this international meeting will be the Hamburg Marriott Hotel. The intention is that every PhD-Student presents his work and achievements for developing a better network in the field for NCL-research. Furthermore, there will be five invited experts, who will expose their main research interest, which are useful for the discussion afterwards.

The lecture time will be completed with a diversified social program to give the attendants enough time to exchange information.

Additionally, we wish to thank our sponsors and partners for their generous support!
