BeFri Research Colloquium and BeFri Research Retreat in Neuro- and Developmental Biology
This course contains two half-days colloquia and a two-day research retreat. The colloquia feature the presentations from about 20 research groups working at the University of Bern and University of Fribourg. The subjects are focusing on, but not limited to the Neuro- and Developmental Biology. After the student presentations pizza and beverages will be provided to facilitate the interactions of the participants. Students have the opportunity to meet the speakers and to discuss ideas.
This course is a part of the MSc specialisation in Neuro- and Developmental Biology jointly organized by the Universities of Bern and Fribourg. All PhD students, postdocs and PIs of participating research groups are invited to attend.
Msc students are asked to present their research projects with a poster at the BeFri Research Retreat and to write 8 summaries of selected talks during the semester. The summaries will be evaluated and graded by the speakers.
Please sign up for the BeFri Convention in Fribourg or Bern to get train ticket reimbursement (see link below).
