The meeting will also host the ECR award and John Scott Lecture. You are invited to submit abstracts for selected talks and posters, making this a great opportunity for early career and more established researchers to share their work on our multidisciplinary theme “Uncovering the Matrisome: advances and trends on Matrix Research” but also in our open session “The Matrix in Health and Disease”, accepting abstracts on every Matrix-related topic.

Prior to the meeting, the ECR Satellite event will have as a theme “Employing the matrix: pathways to career”, providing an opportunity for early career researchers to network, discuss career pathways and share their experiences with prospective funders, employers and group leaders.
