Program
We have designed a comprehensive scientific program for you, with speakers long experienced in the field and those who entered more recently with great enthusiasm and pizazz.
Submit your abstract! We kept many slots for talks from selected abstracts as well.
Our topics range from AHR structure to its signaling pathways, to its physiological role(s) in immunity and many organs, and finally to AHR-related diseases and AHR’s therapeutic potential.

Social events
Our social gathering will unite individuals intrigued by the evolution of our species and take them to the remarkable and picturesque Neandertal museum, situated near the valley where Homo neandertaliensis remains were unearthed.
You will get a guided tour of the museum, which opens just for us, followed by a relaxed flying buffet dinner or an barbecue outdoors depending on the weather.
The event is sold out, there are no tickets left.
This is a ticketed event. Tickets include transportation as well. Reserve your space when you register, as the number of places is limited.
For more info about the museum you can visit their website.
Alternatively, some might prefer to accompany our young scouts for a delightful exploration of Düsseldorf along the scenic banks of the Rhine River, renowned for its historic town and vibrant beer bars.
