Social activities
[BC]2 not only offers great science, but also allows you to meet your peers and have fun with exciting social activities!
Social events and activities are an essential part of [BC]2 allowing us to bring together participants from diverse research fields and horizons. Whether you would like to continue a scientific discussion in a relaxed atmosphere, network or simply enjoy some food and drinks with your colleagues from the other side of the world - our social activities will allow for all it.
Of course, [BC]2 is committed to organise these activities in a safe way, respecting all local COVID-19 measures.
