This evening the Sjernarøy Maritim restaurant will serve you a buffet where you will have the opportunity to enjoy every conservable delicacy from the sea and refreshment drinks.

Stand-up Science is an informal session with Free Papers presentations. Each presenter will be given just four minutes to outline their research, with nothing more than a flip chart to help them. The participants will range from medical students to senior clinicians. They have to convince a panel of experts and the audience that their research project was worth listening to. You and the expert panel will make sure this becomes an entertaining as well educational evening. The debate will continue well into the evening in the bars and restaurants of Stavanger!
