Danish RNA Society's 6th Annual Meeting on RNA

The main event of the Danish RNA Society (Dansk Selskab for RNA) each year is the annual meeting. At the annual meeting researchers from academia and industry are meeting and getting updated on that is going on in the RNA-field internationally as well as in the Danish industry. Here there will be ample possibilities for interactions, and students will also be given the possibility to present their research (short talks selected from poster abstracts).

The event will this year be held as an online event, due to the uncertainty caused by the current Covid-19 situation. The event will still include both lectures and poster sessions to maximise the interaction between the participants.
