BioConnect Seminar Series

The BioConnect Seminar Series provides an opportunity for presentations of ongoing research projects by our postdocs, advanced doctoral researchers, group and project leaders, as well as facility heads.

The objective of those seminars is to discuss current work on projects, ideas and results in a bigger round, to get feedback and to facilitate collaborations.

Internal event only.
Date: first and third Wednesday of the month
Organisers: Birte Hernandez, Jörg Marin and Elisabeth Weir

Career Seminar Series

The Career Seminar Series (CSS), organised by the Researcher Support Team, aims to to provide our researchers with an overview of academic and non-academic career possibilities. In the monthly seminars life science doctoral graduates, who have taken different career routes, share their career so far, the day-to-day activities in their current role as well as the challenges and the expertise required for their positions.
