Biotech students, join us for discoveries and connections!
Are you a biotech student? Or maybe a young researcher? Or even someone who likes to hang out with other people interested in biotechnology and related sciences? In any of those cases, this event is for you!
As a yearly tradition, the Hungarian Biotechnology Student Association (MaBE) organizes in Pécs a Biotechnology-focused event, but this time, with a little twist: we are excited to bring a smaller social event (with a bit of science, of course), allowing closer connections in a cozy informal set-up. This is a great opportunity to bond with fellow students and potential colleagues, locally and from all over Hungary and abroad.
Besides joining the event as part of the audience, you can also participate by sharing your research experience or an interesting biotech topic in a short talk. Make sure to check the Student Presentations section for more details! In any case, you can join the event online!
Registration and abstract submission close on January 26th at midnight, but you help organizers with early registration.
If you need accommodation in Pécs, select the option to receive suggestions and special offers on the registration form!
This year our event takes place on January 31st and February 1st (Friday and Saturday).
The scientific part of the event, with invited speakers and student presentations, will take place at the Building K of the Pharmacy Faculty, University of Pécs (Rókus street 2).
The social activities will happen in different locations:
On Friday, after a day full of scientific presentations and discussions, we invite you for an exciting Quiz Night! From 18:30, we meet at Rum'N'More to test your general and biotech-related knowledge in a friendly competition!
The new tradition of "BioTeke Championship" will happen at Pécsi Teke, on Saturday (Feb. 1st) from 10:00.
This time, the event will be hybrid, so you can join online as audience or presenter!
Contribution fee is 2000 HUF, which is waived for:
MaBE members
Cholnoky members
Biotechnology MSc students of UP
As you may know, traditionally MaBE and the University of Pécs organize the International Biotech Days, an international annual event consisting of a conference with many invited speakers from academia and industry, professional activities with lab visits, and social activities with quizzes, bowling, and wine tasting, for example. If this is the first time you hear about the IBD events of Pécs, you should definitely check out the past year's events, by clicking here.
In 2024, unfortunately, due to multiple hardships and unexpected events striking the core of the organizing team, an event of the same caliber as before cannot be done responsibly. That doesn't mean we give up on the tradition! Instead, we are organizing the Pécs Biotech Microsymposium with a save delay from other potentially colliding events, where a local "club" of MaBE is open and welcomes anyone interested in MaBE. And of course, we plan to come back with a full-scale, enhanced IBD experience in 25's fall!
