CEMIR is proud to gather world-leading scientists within this important research field to a seminar at NTNU so they can share their knowledge, inspire and guide scientists interested in inflammation research.
With such a substantial program and excellent speakers the seminar was a great success. The seminar was open to all and researchers, students and clinicians from several departments at NTNU and St Olavs Hospital as well as other Norwegian universities filled the auditorium in Kunnskapssenteret.
The international speakers are all members of CEMIR’s Scientific Advisory Board (SAB). Their function is to review the scientific progress of the centre and to give guidance to future research directions.
SAB had several meetings with the CEMIR management and researchers during their visit, and gave constructive and useful feedback to the CEMIR management.
