Content

Dear Participants,
each year the Seminar in Biotechnology will focus on a different subject in an emerging field in biotechnology:
- in 2025: Synthetic Biology
- in 2024: Prevention of zoonoses and antimicrobial resistance: vaccines and pandemic preparedness, as fostered by the One Health mission.
We envision an integral, collaborative approach, including several fields (colours) of biotechnology. We hope you can relate to the interpretation and communication of one or of several of these!

The topcis for the presentation will be presented and distributed among registered students during the introductory meeting that will be held in the beginning of March online. Students are expected to prepare a 15 min presentation of the chosen topic and actively participate in dicussions and in providing feedback to their colleauges. The seminar session will take place at the end of May.

Please note that you have to attend all talks in order to obtain a grade.
