Organizational day for first-year PhD students of the International Doctoral School and the Doctoral School of Molecular Medicine

On October 06, 2025, an organizational day was held for first-year PhD students of the International Doctoral School and the Doctoral School of Molecular Medicine at the BRaIn Laboratory Complex, located at Czechosłowacka Street 4 in Łódź.

During the meeting, the Vice-Rector for Research, Prof. Agnieszka Piastowska-Ciesielska, along with the Directors of the Doctoral Schools: prof. Tomasz Boczek (International Doctoral School) and prof. Jakub Fichna, (Doctoral School of Molecular Medicine), welcomed the PhD students. They discussed the main objectives that should be achieved during their studies at the Doctoral School, taking into account the University’s strategy, and outlined the implementation of the training program, highlighting key reporting and evaluation points.

The meeting was not only an opportunity to obtain important information, but also a time for integration and conversation. Doctoral students had the opportunity to submit the required documents, and in the corridors – over aromatic coffee and light snacks – numerous conversations took place, experiences were exchanged, and the first scientific discussions were held. All newly admitted doctoral students received their doctoral ID cards and welcome starter packs, symbolically beginning a new stage in their academic careers. Thank you for spending time with us, and we wish you fruitful research and many inspiring moments at the Medical University of Łódź!
