Research seminars

PhD students and PhD's have the opportunity to present their latest results during the weekly organised research seminars. Internal and external researchers present experimental results within their research domain of interest. The seminars take place every Monday between 12h30 and 13h30 at the seminar room in BioVille, the Life Sciences incubator of our university campus.

Contact: Prof. dr. N. Hellings
