After several years of pause, the Poppelsdorfer Schlossgespräche return to the University of Bonn. We are a group of biomedical students dedicated to bringing inspiring scientific talks by renowned researchers to everyone—whether you’re a Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD student, or simply a curious mind with an interest in science.

As we revive this long-standing tradition, we’re excited to grow our team. If you’re a student in a biomedical field and would like to help shape this lecture series, we’d love to hear from you. Whether you would prefer to scout speakers, organise events, or manage our social media – there’s a role for everyone. Get in touch and join us in building a vibrant space for scientific exchange!

To keep you up to date, we established a new Instagram and Twitter page to inform you about the next talks and publish some funny science memes. Check it out!

We are sorry to tell you but we have to postpone our talk with Prof. Dr. Dr. Haass to the winter semester due to the Corona-pandemic! As soon as we have a new date, we will announce it here and in the calender.

We are excited to announce that there will be new lectures in the following summer semester 2020! We will keep you updated when, where and who will be presenting the lectures.

“Poppelsdorfer Schlossgespräche” is a biomedical lecture series with speakers working in the industry, economy and science, organized by students of Molecular Biomedicine of the University of Bonn. The talks address diverse, current scientific and medical issues. They take place at the Poppelsdorfer Schloss or at the LIMES Institute in a casual atmosphere. After the lecture there is always time for a snack and inspired discussions.

Students of many disciplines, lecturers, employees of the university and other interested people are visiting the lectures. Up to now we have already welcomed Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard, Klaus Rajewski, Jules Hoffmann and Stefan Hell.

In 2007, the Poppelsdorfer Schlossgespräche were awarded with the Alumni-Gesellschaft Prize of the University of Bonn for being the best student initiative.

Any interested person is warmly invited to be a guest at the lectures.
