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.

The PhD Students’ Seminars (Thursday)
In this series, the talks are given by PhD students. The seminars are held in English, in the Wacław Gajewski Auditorium (in person). Each talk takes up to 20 minutes with 5 minutes of discussion, and during one meeting there are usually two talks scheduled. The meetings are every second Thursday, they are open and everyone is welcome to join.
After the discussions, all PhD students are asked to stay and chat with the speakers (up to 20 minutes additionally).
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 During the talks, unpublished data and ongoing projects are presented and discussed.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 Olga Iwańska , Dr Laura Wicke , Dr Juan Camilo Ochoa Cabezas.
