Young Scholar Day 2023

The BMS will organize its first “Young Scholar Day” on December 20th 2023 on the VUB-campus in Brussels. The aim of this event is to give the opportunity to early career researchers in Belgium to meet and present their results during short talks.

Furthermore, the 2023 Godeaux lecture will be given at the beginning of the event. Over lunch time, the BMS general assembly will take place as well, during which the winner of the BMS Young Scholar Award 2023 will be announced. 

The venue of the event is the U-residence at the VUB main campus in Etterbeek (Brussels). For those who come by car, please be aware that there is limited parking space available at U-residence. A campus map and directions how to reach the venue can be found here (the U-residence is indicated as building “U” on the map).
