BMS COVID19 Fund: outcomes of the first project round
Visit the online symposia and learn more about the interesting results
By establishing the BMS COVID19 Fund, the BMS Faculty Board provided financial support to BMS researchers wishing to contribute to research that addresses coronavirus- or covid19-related challenges. Earlier, two calls have been launched. The projects awarded in the first round, started in 2020 and most of the project groups collaborated with the BMS Lab. Now, the researchers of the “first round” projects are ready to present their results.
Time to present the outcomes
To allow them to present some of the interesting results, we have organized a series of symposia you can join. During these online and interactive sessions, 14 projects will share their outcomes to the entire BMS community. Eight of the presentations are held in April in the first two symposia, the remaining six projects will present their results during symposia in June. Besides the COVID-19 Fund projects two other COVID-19 related projects will also be presented.
The data and topics of the symposia in June are 3 June and 10 June.
