DESCRIPTION:Genome Engineering and Synthetic Biology are revolutionizing Li
 fe Sciences. Driven by advances in the CRISPR-toolbox for rapid\, cheap\, 
 multiplex modification of genomes and breakthroughs in DNA synthesis techn
 ologies\, the pace of progress enabled by these tools in the last years ha
 s been breathtaking.\n\nThe first three editions (September 2013\, January
  2016\, January 2018) were a roaring success and we are pleased to announc
 e the 4th edition of GESB in beautiful Ghent in September\, 2020.\n\nTrave
 l Grants\nWe offer 5 travel grants to international attendees\, which will
  reimburse travel costs up to 400 Euros. Are you interested in attending G
 ESB20 and want to have a chance on a travel grant? Submit your motivation 
 below by clicking on the 'Apply for a grant' button before 24 June 2021. T
 he organizing committee will notify you of your travel grant acceptance by
  the end of June. No registration is needed before submitting a travel gra
 nt proposal. When you’re awarded with a travel grant you will receive a 
 practical email containing the next steps. Note that being awarded a trave
 l grant does not mean being registered for the conference.\n\nPoster infor
