IRIBHM is pleased to announce the 8th PhD Day on June 9, 2023 at Holleken Farm.
The goal of this day is to propose an overview of the scientific work within the Institute, but also to reactivate the social networking that has been severely affected by the health crisis.
As in previous years, external groups with which IRIBHM has close relationships will participate in this day.
The scientific program will be divided into oral presentations and flash talks/poster sessions, at the end of which the best speaker in each exercise will be awarded.
This day will conclude with a BBQ and a few beers.
As with the previous editions, we would like to organize an eco-friendly day with zero non-recyclable waste. To achieve this, we count on everyone’s participation and ask all talented cooks and pastry chefs to bring savory or sweet preparations that will enrich our coffee breaks.
See you on June 9 !
