SINAPSIS* es el encuentro anual de científicos peruanos en Europa. Este evento se perfila como un espacio de discusión en ciencia, tecnología e innovación y además promueve mecanismos de contacto y apoyo a la comunidad científica en el Perú. Cada edición de SINAPSIS ofrece una gran variedad de charlas plenarias brindadas por investigadores expertos en sus respectivas líneas de investigación, y cuenta con presentaciones orales, sesiones de pósters y mesas redondas.
Gracias a la calidad y cantidad de participantes, SINAPSIS ofrece un entorno único para la interacción entre investigadores y estudiantes. Nuestro objetivo es promover una discusión abierta sobre los últimos avances en diversos campos de investigación científica y a la vez generar fuertes lazos de amistad.
Esta versión de SINAPSIS será básicamente presencial, pero se dará un tiempo específico para participación desde Perú. Al igual que en ediciones anteriores el evento es gratuito. Te invitamos a participar de esta VII edición de SINAPSIS, registrándote y visitando esta ciudad Ginebra, llamada también la capital cultural de Suiza. Nos comprometemos a mantener la esencia de SINAPSIS.
*Sinapsis es un evento sin fines de lucro
!Nos vemos en Ginebra¡
