Scientific Programme
Meeting Blogging Policy
The 7th European Zebrafish Meeting aims to retain a 'small meeting' feel and encourages scientists to speak about new and unpublished data. There will be editors and journalists attending, as well as scientists who might be contributing to blogs. We ask all journalists and bloggers that if they plan to report directly specific details of any of the presentations, they first seek the approval of the presenter.If you do want to report or blog about details of the presentations at the meeting, please speak to the conference organisers, In Conference.
