The aim of the Wilhelm Bernhard Workshops is to create a multidisciplinary meeting representing various research approaches most used in studies on the cell nucleus structure, functions and their relationships. The workshops strive to promote expert contacts between scientists across all borders. One of the aims is also to give young researchers the opportunity to present their research within a fairly small circle of competent colleagues and to meet experienced colleagues in their field of research.
