In addition to courses the BioResearch School also hosts special events such as the PhD-day, which is an annual opportunity for all PhD-students at the Biology Section to meet, present and discuss their work in the format of a symposium. Usually the PhD-day occurs in December.
The Kick-Off is another regular event intended for newly registered students to meet with more senior PhD:s. The program varies from time to time but the object is to invite a prominent scientist for an enlightening and inspiring talk on a subject broadly related to on-going research at the Biology Section. So far Kick-Off events have been scheduled each semester but this may be subject to changes in the future.
Other Special Activities may take place only once such as workshops and symposia.
