Else Kay Hoffmann symposium

After more than 40 years of science and mentoring at the University of Copenhagen, the time for Else K. Hoffmann’s official retirement is drawing closer. She officially retires Jan. 1st 2014, although she will continue as a Professor Emeritus after that date.

To celebrate Else’s life in science, we would like to invite her colleagues, past and current ­students, friends and family to a festive day of science and fun featuring excellent international speakers who have been important in Else’s scientific life (see program below).

Participation in the symposium and reception is free, and all are welcome.

The price of dinner and party is 300 DKK (200 DKK for students at MSc level or below). Drinks not included, a cash bar will be available all night.
