A diversity of experimental systems are presented that include research on human, mouse, worm (C. elegans), fly (D. melanogaster), and zebrafish stem cells. Thematic scientific sessions include:

• Out of the Niche
• Origin of Stem Cells
• Adult Stem Cells
• Neural Stem Cells
• Early Development
• Beyond the Laboratory
