The ICGEB International Seminar Programme constitutes scientific seminars held by international experts on diverse fields of the Life Sciences. Lectures are made available for free to PhD and Postdoc students at ICGEB, and to the scientific community at large.
Each year, approximately 50 seminars are held in Trieste, New Delhi and Cape Town, many of which are also podcast on our YouTube channels. ICGEB was the first academic institute in Italy to launch Podcasts in #OpenSource and constitute a vast learning resource offering free educational content. These are also available under the topic in our playlists.
