PhD Students Retreat, organized by IIMCB PhD students and staff members, was held on September 26-28, 2019 in Sromowce Wyżne. In total 43 students attended this meeting. The first-year students had an opportunity to introduce themselves and their work to the PhD community. The other students presented results obtained in the last academic year. The whole meeting was a great opportunity to share knowledge, ideas and establish new friendships.
