Informations

The International PhD conference is organized by students participating in the life science PhD program of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Geneva. The program offers an outstanding research environment for studies in the biomedical and life sciences. All students in the program take part in a common curriculum creating a team spirit and facilitating exchange of ideas and experiences. The annual PhD conferences promotes the communication between different fields of life science and has traditionally been a space for open discussions between students, professors, and partners.

This year, more than a hundred students, about 32 group leaders and 2 internationally recognized invited researchers will meet at the conference. About one researcher per group will give a talk while other participants will present their results in one of the two poster sessions.

32 Laboratories spreading across all departments of the section of biology participate in the program.
