Dear Friends and Colleagues, The 2021 EMBRN meeting scheduled for Utrecht has been postponed to the summer of 2022 due to COVID-19. In the meantime, we would like to host a series of 90-minute webinars, every 2-3 months, with a keynote speaker and presentations from MSc, PhD students and postdoctoral researchers, who will be completing their studies, or other graduate students with very interesting results.
