The third annual meeting of the Brain Dynamics Graduate School members
The third Brain Dynamics Scientific Day will take place on 24th September in the Lecture Hall and Foyer of the Centre for Biotechnology and Biomedicine (BBZ). The Scientific Day will be composed of oral and poster presentations by doctoral students and postdocs, and keynote lectures by Prof Dr Dr Dr Zoltan Nusser from the Institute of Experimental Medicine HAS, Budapest, Hungary, and Dr Darinka Trübutschek from the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics, Frankfurt. During the lunch break, doctoral students, postdocs and PIs will choose their respective representatives for the Brain Dynamics Board.
Venue:
The BBZ is based at BIO CITY LEIPZIG. The seminar room of the BBZ is located on the right side of the main entrance of the building - Deutscher Platz 5, 04103 Leipzig.
