Seminars and Training Schools

Every year, a series of 2-day seminars is held in which first, second, and third-year PhD students in Biotechnology and Biosciences present the results of their research. The seminar includes a PowerPoint presentation lasting 10 minutes for those who have completed their first year, 20 minutes for those who have completed their second year, and 30 minutes for those who have finished their third year. The seminars are followed by a discussion and interaction with the members of the Teaching Board, involving questions and requests for further details regarding the data presented, potential developments, and implications in the field of Biotechnology.

A series of seminars are scheduled annually on a monthly basis, delivered by both national and international experts on various topics related to environmental biotechnology, genetic and evolutionary biotechnology, and molecular biotechnology. These seminars typically last around 2 hours and are followed by a debate (questions/comments from the audience). Doctoral students are also informed about all seminars of potential interest at both the university and external institutions. Opportunities for webinars will be provided by the EU GREEN Alliance network with contributions from the eight partner universities.

Within the framework of the EU GREEN Alliance network, Summer Schools and Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP) are offered annually, organised by two or more institutions within the network. Doctoral students will have full opportunity to enrol and participate in these initiatives.
