Dear PhD students,

We, the PhD students of the Department of Biology at the University of Oulu, would like to invite you to present your researches in our annual graduate student symposium on 8.-9. December 2008. If your research is related to biology our Kaamos symposium is a good opportunity for you to present and discuss your results in a friendly environment of biology students and senior researches and also exceptional possibility for us to be aware what's going on in related research fields. Presentations should be 15 minutes, plus 5 minutes for questions and discussion. Registration deadline for presentations and posters is the 31st of October. Abstracts should be ready and send to us by the 30th of November.

If you want to register for Kaamos symposium or have any questions or suggestions don't hesitate to contact us! Also mail us if you wish to obtain further information about symposium - our web-page is under development at the moment.

Hope to see you on our symposium.
