 workshop on gene regulation is a one-day long\, yearly event with two main
  goals: we wish to give the opportunity to researchers in Switerland to ke
 ep abreast of the latest developments in the field of gene regulation\, an
 d we wish to give the occasion to young researchers\, specifically master 
 and doctoral students\, as well as post-doctoral fellows\, to hear and mee
 t world re-knowns scientists\, and to experience the excitement of scienti
 fic discussion. The meeting is organized accordingly. Thus: -the short len
 gth of the meeting (just one day) tailors it to researchers in Switerzland
 \, who can travel in the morning\, attend the entire meeting\, and be back
  home in the evening. This format has the huge advantage of tremendously r
 educing the cost of attending the meeting\, since there is no need for hot
 el stays. Moreover\, registration is free. -We ask that the talks be 30 to
  35 minutes long\, leaving 10 to 15 minutes for questions. This allows the
  speakers to give a comprehensive introduction to the specific problem the
 y are studying\, and to the n describe their latest results at a comfortab
 le pace\, much different from the situation at many international meetings
  on gene expression where talks can be as short as 8 minutes! This format 
 makes it easier not only for students\, but also for experienced researche
 rs who are not in the exact field of the speaker\, to follow the talks. Th
 ere is then ample time for discussion. Indeed\, a characteristic of this m
 eeting is the long question and answer period\, which has on several occas
 ions in the past years been quite memorable. To allow students to have tim
 e with the speakers\, they will be able to register to have lunch with the
  speakers. This will allow them to interact with world-renowned scientists
  in the absence of any other professors\, which is often intimidating for 
 them.\n
