Website malfunction notice
Our website is currently experiencing technical difficulties. The original version of this post has been lost. We are currently unable to upload photos to our website. Because of that we can not prepare the usual gallery of all the photos sent to us. We are working to solve this issue. Thank you for your understanding.

We are happy to inform you, that we’ve added a few more days for you to register for MANIAC 2024!

The new deadline is 04.09.2024, 23:59.

If you just returned from the beach, now is the time to dust off your flash drive with your microscopy photos and send them to our contest! Good luck! We can’t wait to see your masterpiece at our exhibition in the market square.

On 12.06.24 PhoBiA members met with our university’s rector, prof. dr hab. inż. Arkadiusz Wójs. We had the opportunity to reflect on our recent PANIC 2024 conference and discuss current and future endeavors of our association.

We end this academic year with a feeling of accomplishment and we are motivated to keep up our good work. We would like to wish all PhoBiA members, as well as our friends in Wrocław and beyond, safe, sunny and exciting summer holidays!

We are pleased to announce that the book of abstracts for PANIC 2024 can now be found online, in the Lower Silesian Digital Library under this link.

The conference will take place 16-17.05.2024!

There is no need for any action from registered participants. In need of further information please contact us at:

W środę 13.12.2023 odbyło się spotkanie wigilijne członków naszego koła. Laboratoryjne fartuchy zamieniliśmy na kuchenne fartuszki i przygotowaliśmy różne smakołyki: naleśniki, krokiety, ciasta i ciasteczka. Przy takich pysznościach i ciepłej herbatce, mieliśmy okazję jeszcze lepiej się poznać i podyskutować o studiach, badaniach i pracach koła. Dziękujemy wszystkim za przybycie i zagrzewamy do dalszego zaangażowania w działalność PhoBii. Zapraszamy również do obejrzenia zdjęć przesłanych na konkurs MANIAC, które można zobaczyć na korytarzu w Strefie Kultury Studenckiej PWr do piątku 22.12.2023.

Życzymy wesołych Świąt i szczęśliwego Nowego Roku!
