PhD Retreat 2025

The 16th PhD Retreat will take place from 28th to 30th of August 2025, at the Hotel Hirschen Wildhaus in beautiful St. Gallen!


Organized since 2009, the annual PhD retreat is a way to foster exchange between the PhD students of the Biozentrum and the Pharmazentrum, regardless of focal area or year in the program. It is an opportunity for students to share their work, talk about science, and meet other people with different backgrounds in Biology and Pharmaceutical Sciences.

The retreat program includes student talks, poster sessions, and social activities. Speakers from academia, industry, and the start-up environment are invited to present their work and share their career path with students. The event enables students to grow as scientists and expand their network. The PhD Retreat has been a great success, every year a total of 80 PhD students participate at our conference.

We look forward to seeing you at the PhD Retreat in 2025!
