Events – Witec AG

Whether you’re looking to expand your academic horizons or simply network with peers across the region, we invite you to join us for the upcoming BeFri Event at the University of Fribourg!

Come discover new research perspectives, explore collaborative study programs, and connect with a vibrant community of students and faculty.

• Focus: Academic exchange, networking, and inter-university mobility.
• Who: Open to all students and faculty within the BeNeFri network.

Every year, the APDU brings the postdoc community together for a day dedicated to connection, growth, and inspiration. The Postdoc Day is all about fostering relationships and supporting your personal development.

Whether you join to network or gain new insights, the day is packed with high-value sessions:

• Three Thematic Tracks: Tailored sessions for Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, featuring keynote speakers and UNIGE postdocs sharing cutting-edge research.

• Interactive Sessions: Dive into our dynamic poster session to exchange ideas with peers.

Don't miss this chance to step out of the lab and into a vibrant community of innovators!

Join us at the Swiss Drosophila Meeting 2026!

Taking place on Monday, June 29th, 2026, at the University of Geneva (Faculty of Sciences), this one-day event continues a half-century tradition of excellence in fly genetics.

Whether you are a senior PI or a student presenting your first poster, this is the premier forum to share cutting-edge research, spanning from neuroscience and genomics to evolution and development.

• Scientific Exchange: Presentations from junior researchers and postdocs selected from submitted abstracts.

• Networking: A dedicated poster session designed to spark collaboration between the 30+ research groups across Switzerland.

• Recognition: Awards for the best talk and best poster to celebrate the next generation of geneticists.

Join us at the MIC Symposium 2026, hosted by the Microscopy Imaging Center to explore how cutting-edge microscopy bridges the gap between single-molecule interactions and complex living systems.

This year’s theme, Live Cell Imaging Across Scales (in vitro and in vivo), dives into the dynamic world of biological processes as they unfold in real-time.

• Expert Insights: Hear from leading scientists and the Scientific Committee (Peter Meister and Thomas Nevian) on the latest advancements in high-resolution and deep-tissue imaging.
• Comprehensive Scope: Discover innovative approaches for tracking cell behavior both in controlled in vitro environments and within the complex architecture of in vivo organisms.
• Networking: Connect with the Swiss microscopy community and industry partners to discuss the tools and data pipelines shaping the future of life sciences.
