Information to the speakers:

Please plan your talk to last for 20 minutes, of which at least first 5 minutes should be reserved for introduction. We will have two talks per seminar. The Cancer Biology Progress Reports takes place in the P-floor seminar room 1-2 (or in lecture hall 2/3 in some occasions). You will get a notification of the location of each seminar on preceding Thursday by e-mail. Please bring your presentation on a CD, USB device, or in your own laptop.

Credits for students:

2 ECTS (15 attended seminars) + 0.8 ECTS from own presentation

Note! The seminars need not be attended during one year. In order to get the credits from your own presentation, you need to attend 15 seminars.
