Central European Nanopore Days

9.-11.2.2026 / UNIVERSITY CENTRE TELČ

“The future will pass through nanopores – so come see the future”

Join us for the Central European Nanopore Days 2026, the pivotal kick-off, where the cutting-edge of technology meets biology. University Centre Telč, in the heart of Europe, welcomes both newcomers and seasoned scientists to explore the vast capabilities of nanopore sequencing. Engage in workshops, listen to expert talks, and participate in innovative poster sessions.

Nanopore sequencing is revolutionizing our understanding by revealing subtle biological nuances in the direct sequencing of DNA, RNA, and even proteins. Come and learn how you can use this tool in your research to achieve answers to your questions!

Whether you’re here to share your research, learn about the latest advancements, or network with pioneers, the Central European Nanopore Days is your gateway to the future for your research. Don’t miss the chance to see how missing details can change everything in our understanding of biology.
