VI. Doctoral Day Bi(o)znanosti? 2025
The Biotechnical Faculty invites all doctoral students to the VI. Doctoral Day Bi(o)znanosti? 2025, which will take place on Wednesday, 4 June 2025, at 16:30 in the Janez Hribar Hall at the Dean's Office of the Biotechnical Faculty (Jamnikarjeva 101, Ljubljana).
The main themes of this year's event will be self-regulation and networking – two crucial skills that can significantly impact success on the demanding journey towards a doctorate and a future career.
The programme will feature two highly engaging lectures:
Prof. Dr. Borut Škodlar, in his lecture Overcoming Stress on the Way to a Doctorate, will address how to effectively cope with stress, anxiety, and exhaustion, and how to develop strategies for maintaining inner calm and motivation throughout the doctoral journey.
Boško Praštalo, in his lecture Networking as the Hidden Pillar of Personal and Professional Success, will highlight the importance of building relationships and connections for career development and explain how to start networking effectively and authentically.
In addition to the lectures, students will have the opportunity to present their research projects during the poster session, with the audience voting for the three best posters. The posters will be peer-reviewed and published in the Book of Abstracts, which will award the authors 2 points according to ARRS methodology for research performance evaluation.
The event will conclude with the announcement of the winning posters, a musical performance, and informal socialising with refreshments accompanied by the music group 2Brothers & The Others in the faculty's main hall.
