PhD Retreat
Organized since 2009, the annual PhD retreat is a way to foster interactions 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 and from the two institutes.
The retreat program includes keynote presentations with invited speakers, student talks, poster sessions and social activities. Not surprisingly, past retreats have been a huge success, with up to 80 PhD students attending.
The 12th PhD Retreat will take place online on June 17th and 18th, 2021.
