The 6th European CF Young Investigator Meeting is being held in Paris 24 to 27 of April 2012. The deadline for applications is 9 December 2011.

The meeting aims to bring young scientists together so they can help become part of and help create a long-term collaborative European network of CF investigators. The meeting will cover all CF research fields, considering basic research and clinical research.

This scientific meeting is organized by European Cystic Fibrosis organisations with the European Cystic Fibrosis Society.

Fifty young investigators (under 35 years old) will be selected by an international scientific committee to present their work on CF. They will be asked to give a 10 minutes' talk and to present their results on a poster for further discussion. Senior scientists will moderate the different work sessions. Large time periods will be dedicated to networking. The scientific committee will reward the best presentation (talk and poster).

This meeting provides a unique opportunity for young scientists to train themselves and share experience. Moreover, leading scientists will give state of the art lectures in microbiology, immunology, cell biology, gene therapy, and clinical issues in CF.

The meeting costs are all covered by the sponsors and the CF Trust will pay reasonable travel costs to the conference for all successful UK candidates.
