Current Topics in the Life Sciences: Research Seminar for PhD and Master Students

Winter Term 2010 2011

By Almut Köhler, Christoph Basse and Tilman Lamparter


NEW:
Jan 28, 2011, Please check the current signature list here
On Feb 03, we (try to) start 17:00.
You can register for the next semester (early bird..): klick here and follow links


The aim of this seminar is to present and discuss your research, to train presentation of results and planned studies. All participants will gain insight into research of other groups at the KIT.
The participation in the seminar is a duty for all biology doctoral candidates of the faculty. Regular participation must be proved for at least 3 semesters by entry in an attendance list. Every doctoral candidate must give 2 talks: "Suggested Project" and "Main Project".
Talk about "Suggested Project": 10 min and 10 min discussion.
Talk about "Main Project": 20 min and 15 min discussion.
The talks should be given in English.

For master students: participation and summary about one MP talk or two SP talks.

The seminar takes place on Thursdays from 17:15 (or 17:00, see below) to 19 o'clock in the lecture room Hörsaal 2 of the chemistry building 30.41.
