Seminars schedule
The Institute organizes three types of seminars on a regular basis:
- The IBB Seminar Series – we meet every Tuesday, the speakers are invited guests or IBB researchers
- The PhD Students’ Seminars – we meet every second Thursday, doctoral students are the speakers
- Scientific Fridays – we meet once per month, young researchers with a doctoral degree present their results
The IBB Seminar Series (Tuesday)
The language of this series is English. Talks are given either by invited guests or by IBB researchers. The seminars are open to everybody. They take place either on-line (ZOOM) or in person in the Prof. Wacław Gajewski Auditorium – there are no hybrid meetings. Each talk is scheduled for up to 40 minutes plus 20 minutes of discussion. The seminars are on Tuesdays, usually at 9:30 am, see schedule for details.

Schedule of the PhD Students’ Seminars
Scientific Fridays (Friday)
This initiative has been put forward by young researchers with a doctoral degree: its purpose is to facilitate the exchange of experiences and to discuss research that is currently ongoing at the Institute. The meetings are closed – they are meant only for members of the IBB community. During the talks, unpublished data and ongoing projects are presented and discussed.
The meetings begin at 2:30 pm, in the Prof. Zagórski-Ostoja Seminar Room. Usually, two 20-minute talks are given at each meeting. Afterwards, you are invited for a “Happy Hour”. For more information contact: Dr Katarzyna Jonak and Dr Somayeh Shahmoradi Ghahe.
