WE ARE GLAD YOU ASKED!

The Biannual Cutting Edge Event is an excellent opportunity to present your work to your colleagues and interested others in a relaxed environment. We aim to enable young scientists a possibility to present their research to their peers, to discuss the results, and to entangle the scientific problems from various perspectives.

Primarily, the event is meant for Bachelor’s, Master’s, PhD students, young researchers at the beginning of their careers, and all others who are involved in the research in one of the following three Cutting Edge topics

Science behind the Living

Materials of the Future

Technologies for the Earth and Environments

If you recognized yourself in any of these descriptions, then this is the right event for you! Do not hesitate and fill out the registration form above!

We have decided that we will offer two different types of participation.

  1. Active participation
    If you would like to present your work to others in the form of an abstract, poster and a short 2-minute presentation consider this option!
  2. Passive participation
    If you would rather just listen to presented research, or if you are here just looking for inspiration, this is the right option for you.

We are excited to announce that we are assembling an outstanding lineup of guests and speakers for the upcoming conference. Please stay tuned for more information! What to expect:

PROMINENT AND WELL ESTABLISHED SCIENTISTS

Researchers from academia, public institutions, and businesses will showcase how science can be applied to real-world challenges. Through their diverse experiences, they will highlight how collaboration across sectors enables innovative ideas to become impactful solutions, proving that scientific research is not only theoretical but also practical and highly relevant beyond the lab.

All information has been moved to the dedicated webpage for Active participants above.

This conference is organized for students by students, so we tried to make it as accessible as possible.
