MCAA Swiss Chapter Autumn Meeting 2022, online, Sunday 23 October, 5-7 pm (CEST)!

Let's join our friends from the Birmingham local Marie Curie Association for a potluck picnic in the afternoon of Friday 12 August at the Vale!

This Webinar, organized by the IGU Commission on the Geography of Governance, explores and discusses the local government system in Ukraine, its formation and reforms after independence, its role in times of war, and its potential role in the post-war recovery. It aims to bring together researchers, geographers and other social scientists, working on these issues, and the wider public - citizens, policy makers and other stakeholders - in Ukraine and in other countries around the globe.
Monday, 6 June 2022
12:00 - 16:30 GMT
Participation is free and open to the public.

MCAA Swiss - Science Communication (Hybrid) Workshop on Saturday 21 May 2022, University of Zurich, full-day (10:30-16:30).

The onsite event will take place in University of Zurich (GRC Campus).
It will be followed-up by social activities and dinner in Zurich.
The online participation will be possible via Zoom.

This course will explore the versatility of non-genic DNA elements and non-coding RNAs across a spectrum of cellular processes, in humans and model organisms, and their implication in physiology and disease. Internationally recognized experts will present their latest findings related to the identification and functional characterization of the noncoding genome and discuss novel concepts in genome regulation and evolution, with a strong emphasis on experimental and computational tools. Thematic sessions will include long and small non-coding RNAs, transposable elements, structural DNA repeats and non-coding regulatory elements. This course will offer to young students and research fellows the opportunity to broaden their knowledge and discuss their work with an international scientific community in a warm and stimulating environment at Institut Curie in Paris.
