For this edition of YAS, young algaeneers will take the stage to deliver oral presentations in a unique and engaging format that sets us apart from traditional conferences. The presentations will be organized into five dynamic sessions:
- Cultivation
- Processing
- Physiology and Genetic Engineering
- Applications
- Sustainability
Each session, lasting 1 hour, will feature six presenters delivering concise 5-minute talks. The presentations will run consecutively for the first 30 minutes, followed by a 30-minute interactive roundtable discussion. This discussion will encourage open dialogue between the audience and the speakers, fostering collaboration, knowledge exchange, and deeper engagement with the topics presented.
Please note: naturally, we will not be able to fit everyone in the talks (which is unfortunate) so we will establish an external scientific committee for abstract evaluation.
