Lunch with Leaders

Hungry for a chat? All EMBS students are invited to register to one (of two) free lunches at the ISBI’14. Lunch with leaders will take place at the Fat Duck restaurant on Wednesday 30 April and Thursday 1 may from 12:30 to 13:30. Approximately ten students are seated per table where leaders of the biomedical engineering community are waiting to engage in informal conversation over a complimentary lunch. This is a rare and invaluable opportunity for you, as a student, to talk to a world leader, get some advice and network in your field.

Registration in advance is required, as spaces are limited. Students may only attend one out of the two Lunch with Leaders. This list may change up until the day of the event. Some leaders may be available on 1 day or both. The Wednesday lunch is sold out. There are only a few slots open for Thursday. You may ask to be placed on a waiting list and check with the registration team in front of Fat Duck 10 minutes prior to the start of the lunch to see if there were any no-shows or cancellations.
