Towards Comprehensive Population Studies – Bialystok PLUS

Conference ‘Towards Comprehensive Population Studies – BIALYSTOK PLUS’ has come to an end. Over 100 participants, two days of great lectures, discussions and establishing international contacts are organizational success, which we are very proud of. We believe that the opportunity to exchange experiences in the field of population-based research will improve all scientific projects conducted by conference participants. We also hope that in the near future we will meet with you on the path of joint research projects, and our Białystok PLUS study will serve all scientists willing to solve health challenges of the population in which we live. We encourage you to remember the moments of the conference that have been recorded by the camera. See you again -some day -in Bialystok!
