07.02.2008 Registration for rRNA Workshop closed

Many thanks for the overwhelming feedback! With more than a 100% of over-subscription and registrations from all over the world, we consider this initial phase of the rRNA Workshop as a real success. Acceptance for the workshop will be communicated until February 15, 2008. We ask for your understanding in case you will not get a positive feedback. We simply can not invite all of you because the number of registrations exceeds the capacities of our facilities, although we would like to!
