Workshops 2022
Planned Workshops:
-
Hot Topics in Signal Transduction
-
Differentiation, Stress, and Death
GPCR-Mediated Signaling
Immune Cell Signaling
Infection and Inflammation
Tumor Cell Biology
As in previous years, sponsoring companies will have the opportunity to present their innovative products for signal transduction research as a 15 min plenary lecture in a Workshop session. These presentations will conclude the Workshop sessions to allow for further discussions with the companies’ representatives at their booths during the following breaks.
Program
Each Workshop/Session will start with introductory keynote presentations of 30 minutes (including discussion) given by invited speakers who have contributed significantly to the development of specific areas of signal transduction research. Keynote speakers are nominated by STS members and contributing consortia.
All presentations will be given as plenary lectures in the main conference hall. There will be no parallel workshop sessions. Oral presentations will be selected from the submitted abstracts. A limited number of abstracts will be selected for oral presentation of 10 minutes plus 5 minutes of discussion. The oral presentations are thematically related to the Workshop topics. They will be selected by the organizing committee on the basis of scientific quality and consistency with the scientific program.

Special Event
The New Bauhaus Museum Weimar – MACH MIT / JOIN IN
On the occasion of the 25th Anniversary of the STS-Meeting, we would like to invite all participants to visit the Bauhaus Museum Weimar on Thursday, November 3, 1 to 4 pm. The museum highlights the early phase of the most influential school of art and design of the 20th century. The New Bauhaus Museum Weimar was opened in April 2019, showcasing the treasures of the world’s oldest Bauhaus collection. The Bauhaus Museum reveals how crucial processes of change at the start of the 20th century with respect to society, new forms of coexistence, new technologies, material studies were initiated by the Bauhaus.
We have arranged guided tours in English and German of 30 min for you and you will have the chance to stroll around by yourself and enjoy our special event. Transfer from the hotel to the museum and back is arranged.
More information on the Bauhaus museum can be found here.
Poster Sessions
All accepted poster contributions will be on display throughout the Meeting in an assigned poster area together with the sponsors’ exhibition. This comfortable area can be used for vivid discussions at the posters during the coffee breaks. Ample time will be reserved for poster viewing and discussion.
“My Poster in a nutshell" presentations
In addition, all accepted posters can be presented to the plenum in one of the Short Talk Sessions as a concise One-Minute-Short talk. Please prepare one PowerPoint Slide containing key aspects of your scientific contribution to attract participants to your poster. After the short talk presentation it will be possible to meet at the posters for further scientific disussions.
Prizes and Travel Grants
STS Science Award 2022
This prize is meant to honor outstanding research by a post doc or a junior principal investigator being member of the Signal Transduction Society. In 2022, the STS Science Award will be donated with a sum of 1500,- Euro.
The jury board consisting of the STS council and STS advisory board members will evaluate the applicants’ scientific achievements and background in general and discuss the meeting contributions in detail in order to finally take their decision on the awardee.
GBM-Innovation-Award for Young Scientists 2022
Each year on the occasion of the STS Joint Meeting “Signal Transduction - Receptors, Mediators and Genes”, the Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology/Gesellschaft für Biochemie und Molekularbiologie e.V. (GBM) announces the GBM-Innovation-Award for Young Scientists, donated with EUR 500,–.
The prize will be granted to a young scientist (diploma, master, MD or PhD student or post doc within their first years) who is developing or has developed a novel and innovative method, which might be attractive for all of us. The work has to be submitted as an abstract to the STS-Meeting and must be presented also as a poster, even if the abstract is selected for oral presentation. The awardee will be announced at the Award ceremony. Awards can only be received personally.
The award jury consisting of the speakers of the GBM-Study Groups “Biochemical Pharmacology and Toxicology” and “Receptors and Signal Transduction” will select appropriate candidates.
STS travel stipends
In 2022, the STS decided to award ten young scientists travel stipends (300 EUR each).
For more details, please also refer to the Prizes / Travel grants section of our website.
Poster Prizes
Five poster prizes will be awarded during the meeting. The
candidates will be selected by the chair people of the different
sessions.
Awards will be made payable by cheque and must be cashed latest by December 31st 2022 (expiration date of the cheque).
STS Honorary Medal 2022
The “STS Honorary Medal 2022“ is again supported by the “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” published by MDPI (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute).
The STS honorary medal represents the most prestigious award of the STS. In 2017 the International Journal of Molecular Sciences (IJMS) became the co-sponsor. The medal is presented every year to an outstanding scientist who inspired scientists all over the world to work on receptors, mediators or genes involved in signal transduction processes. The Medal Ceremonies with informative Laudations and the Medal Award Lectures are meanwhile established highlights of the conference.
A list of Past Recipients of the STS Honorary Medal is available.
Congress Venue
The 25th STS Meeting will again take place in the Leonardo Hotel Weimar, located in the world heritage city of Weimar, Germany.
Registration and Fees
Register here for the meeting!Along with relatively low accommodation rates, the STS aims at making the Meeting attractive and affordable especially for young scientists.
As in recent years, the regular meeting fees cover lunches, dinners (without beverages) and catering during coffee breaks and poster sessions throughout the meeting. Moreover, the conference book and the traditional personalized STS coffee mug are also included in the registration fees.
We would like to stress that the fees for STS members do not even cover the effective costs for individual participants.
Sponsors of the STS Meeting 2022
The industrial exhibition of sponsoring companies will take place in an approximately 400 square meter area together with the poster exhibition in order to concentrate and facilitate interactions between the conference participants and the industry.
We are very grateful to all companies who want to support the STS Meeting.
Sponsors of the meeting as of 14.06.2022 are:
Committees
The STS is a non-profit organization that currently represents around 350 scientists. Over the past years, we have developed a fairly efficient and cost-saving routine for the Meeting organization. The Meeting is organized as a Joint Meeting of the STS with signaling study groups of the German Societies for Immunology (DGfI) and Cell Biology (DGZ), the Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (GBM) and the German Society for Pharmacology (DGP).
