Started in 2006, Molecular Frontiers operates as a non-profit organization, hosted by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Its Scientific Advisory Board, a group of eminent scientists including many Nobel Prize laureates, represent expertise from a wide range of molecular science disciplines
Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) in Budapest hosts the first Molecular Frontiers Symposium in Hungary. The currently chosen topic follows the theme of an actual Hungarian program known as MedInProt initiative, with the purpose of assisting the communication among scientists working in the fields of protein sciences and pharmacology.
As always, there will be plenty of high school students present, from several countries.
