We will be re-launching the weekly programme “CTB-MINA Seminars on Biomaterials and Neurotechnology” on Wednesday, 4th June 2025, with an invited seminar by Prof. Melissa Grunlan.
The weekly seminars will then resume on Monday, 16th June 2025, with presentations by junior researchers (TFG, TFM, interns, and PhD students). The programme is attached for your reference.
Speaker instructions: For this final round of seminars, each speaker will do a “pre-defense” of the project they have been or will be working on, which will be followed by questions (10-15 min). Please, prepare your slides and oral presentation in the same language that you will do your final defense of the project.
