About EYIC

The idea of holding a European Young Investigator Conference (EYIC) was born three years ago within the members of RTN EU Project SULFRAD. The first EYIC was organized by Klaus-Dieter ASMUS (consultant in SULFRAD) and took place as a joint meeting including Deutsches Strahlenchemikertreffen, SULFRAD and European Young Investigators in Słubice (Poland) from May 7 to May 11, 2003. The choice of Słubice as conference venue was meant to stress the European character. Słubice is a small Polish city opposite to the German city of Frankfurt/Oder, divided only by the river Oder.

The scope of these Conferences is to bring together chemists, physicists and biologists interested in all aspects of the interaction between radiation (of low and high energy) and matter. All participants should share an interest in Free Radical Chemistry, Radiation Chemistry and Physics, Photochemistry, Radiobiology, Life Sciences and Enviromentally related topics that cover experimental and theoretical aspects.

These conferences specifically aim at the active participation of younger scientists. Active participation means that young investigators, typically consisting of graduate students and postdocs below the age of 35, are specifically invited to present their scientific work in the above mentioned fields (orally and/or on posters). Accordingly, any application for an oral contribution by a young investigator will be given preference over those from the older and experienced people. Posters are very welcome from both groups of scientists. In addition to regular oral presentations by Young Investigators four invited feature lectures will be presented by well-known experts.

The organizers will make every efforts to encourage the participation of young investigators, both male and female, and to enable young investigators to present the results of their scientific work to a highly qualified and experienced international audience.
