We loved running the workshop and thank all the participants. It was an intense, lively workshop. Special thanks to our keynote speakers Sarah Woodson, Claudia Keller Valsecchi and Utz Fischer. And last but not least, big thanks to our sponsors. Reserve the date for 2025 already, we look forward to uniting the RNA community again as we do since 1995.

This workshop encompasses a wide array of subjects, such as RNA structure, processing, transportation, localization, translation, degradation, non-coding RNAs, and RNA-binding proteins. It also serves as an opportunity to connect with both Swiss and international scientists who possess expertise and research interests in this rapidly expanding field. In addition to our globally renowned keynote speakers, the organizers will select short presentations from the submitted abstracts. The poster session and breaks will also allow ample time for discussions. Furthermore, our commercial sponsors will be available in the foyer with informational booths.

We eagerly anticipate the gathering of the RNA community, as we have been doing since 1995.

Additionally, we are pleased to offer childcare services, as the NCCR RNA & Disease is actively committed to promoting equal opportunities.

Registration has been closed and we will not accept further participants for catering reasons. 
We look forward to unite the RNA Community, see you soon!

Registration has started and will close on Sunday, December 8, 2024.

Parent-friendly environment and culture at the Swiss RNA Workshop 2025

Childcare%20pnas%20schmaler

The NCCR RNA & Disease is actively engaged in promoting equal opportunities. At the Swiss RNA Workshop 2025, we want to relieve hurdles for primary caretakers of dependent children. Parents who would like to attend and participate in the conference activities have the opportunity to have their children (four months – to seven years old) taken care of by the professional agency “Stiftung Kinderbetreuung im Hochschulraum Bern (KIHOB)” The trained care staff will perform various activities during the day (drawing, crafting, construction games, singing and movement games, puzzles, books, storytelling, cars, dolls, etc.). The childcare is organized in the same building as the conference (UniS Schanzeneckstr. 1, 3012 Bern).

Additionally, we will provide a separate room equipped for breast-feeding. If you need any additional resources or have any questions regarding child care, breastfeeding, or pregnancy at the Swiss RNA Workshop, please get in touch with us. We are happy to help.

Please contact our office to register for childcare; the first registrations are already here.
