Are you a university student studying science or medicine? We have prepared a special open day for you with a range of interesting topics for your bachelor’s or master’s thesis and topics for PhD studies. Scientists from IPHYS will introduce you to them in the morning session (both in person and online) and in the afternoon you will have the opportunity to look directly into their laboratories. The whole programme is in English.
Video recording of laboratory presentations from the morning lecture block.
