The ICRBM4 meeting will bring together scientists from all over the world that study the wide variety of rodent species, populations and communities, across various scientific disciplines.

The wide variety of topics will be addressed through a series of oral and poster presentations organized in various symposia (see Overview Program and Daily Schedule)

Oral presentations will be 20 minutes long (15 minutes presentation + 5 minutes for questions).

Posters will be exhibited during specific poster sessions, when presenters will stand at their posters and be available to answer questions. These posters will then remain on the specific poster boards for the duration of the week.

Six plenary lectures will be given by world-renowned scientists in their fields (see Plenaries ). These 45 minute lectures will start the academic program off each day. A last plenary will be presented just before the Closing and Prize Giving ceremony (see the Overview Programme).
