IDEAS LUNCH SEMINARS

The networking of PhD students registered is structured through informal meetings (“IDEAS Lunch Seminars”), which are organized around presentations given by the PhD students of the respective research project(s). This method allows them to get into a rhythm of well-managed projects and get used to public presentations. It is also a discussion platform favoring interactivity and exchange of ideas between doctoral students, employees of different laboratories and guest researchers. The get-togethers take place once a month between 12:30 and 2 p.m., with a snack offered to participants.
