Welcome note
The goal of RNA Club is to bring together enthusiastic researchers from the Czech Republic as well as the neighbouring countries to discuss the cutting edge research on RNA biology. We wish that the RNA club will continue to stimulate scientific exchange and create opportunities for new collaborations among the participants.
We are honoured to host the RNA Club meeting after one year hiatus caused by hosting the RNA Society meeting in Prague the last year.

RNA Club Awards
For this year, the best contribution at the 2018 RNA Club will be awarded by the RNA Society a $1000 travel support and a free meeting registration for the 2019 RNA Society Meeting in Krakow. In addition, a free 1-year RNA Society membership will be awarded to the second and third place contributions. RNA Society Awards are limited to students and post-doctoral fellows under the age of 35 who are members of laboratories in the Czech Republic.
