RIGeL Lecture Series - Current Concepts in Biology, WiSe 25/26

< >

Get an insight into different research areas of the Faculty of Biology and Preclinical Medicine as well as the Faculty of Medicine!
 
 
With this lecture series we would like to give you an overview about the current research topics of the working groups of the faculties Biology and Preclinical Medicine and Medicine as well as state-of-the-art methods which are used in the different groups.
 
We plan  8 lectures for the winter term 2025/2026.
 
Information for PhD students
Joining the lecture series is possible at any time, you don't have to register. If you have attended at least 6 lectures, you will receive 0.5 CP for the RIGeL Curriculum as a Method Course! Attending the 6 lectures over several semesters is possible!
 
Information for B.Sc./M.Sc. students
You have the possibility to get ECTS points for attending the lecture series.
 
Option 1: As a job qualifying course (Berufsqualifizierende Veranstaltung) with 1 ECTS for B.Sc./M.Sc. Biolgy and B.Sc. Biochemistry students. For that, you have to collect the signatures of the speakers in the form which you can download here: https://www.uni-regensburg.de/assets/biologie-vorklinische-medizin/biologie-studium/dokumente/alumni-talks-formular.pdf.
 
Option 2: As a special lecture (Spezialvorlesung) with 3 ECTS for B.Sc. Biology students. For this option you have to register for the course on GRIPS (https://elearning.uni-regensburg.de/course/view.php?id=65358) and participate in the mini tests (max. 15 minutes) with 5 multiple-choice questions at the end of each lecture. To receive the 3 ETCS you have to attend at least 80 % of the lectures and pass 80 % of the multiple-choice tests. The mini tests will take place on GRIPS from 18:00 to 18:15. It is therefore important to register for the course on GRIPS.
