Participants attending the WCSJ2019 in Lausanne have the unique opportunity to visit labs of EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology), UNIL (University of Lausanne) and CHUV (Lausanne’s University hospital) during the conference, taking part in Lunch@Labs. Thanks to the large concentration of high-level research within a small area, these visits can take place during the lunch breaks. Lunch will be provided, so that the discovery of the labs and discussions with the researchers can last up to around 90 minutes.

In total, over 50 different labs and presentations are available to choose from, each for groups of 8-10 people. Lunch@Labs sessions will take place on the three main days of the WCSJ2019, Tuesday, July 2 to Thursday, July 4. Journalists will have the chance to harvest a vast range of potential stories, providing a strong argument for their media outlets to fund their attendance.

Attendance at the Lunch@Labs is free of charge, but registration on the WCSJ2019 website is mandatory for organizational reasons.
