IBB Science Day & CRC 1644 Outreach Day

3 June 2026     9:00 - 19:00

Venue: UP, Campus Golm, House 27, Room 1.01

Poster session in House 26
 

Join us for the IBB Science Day on 3 June at the University of Potsdam! 

The day kicks off with a morning session of research talks, where researchers from all working groups of the Institute of Biochemistry and Biology (IBB) will present their latest projects, offering insights into a wide range of cutting-edge topics. 

After lunch, we continue with a Career Session featuring speakers from both academia and industry who will share personal insights and experiences from their professional paths.

In the afternoon, the event continues with an interactive poster session, which provides a platform for discussion, networking, and collaboration. This part of the event is supported by the Collaborative Research Center CRC 1644, which will showcase its ongoing research alongside with other IBB research groups.

The IBB Science Day is a perfect opportunity to connect, share ideas, and explore potential collaborations—particularly within the vibrant scientific community of the Science Park Golm.
