The Lower Saxony State Seminar of the International Biology Olympiad hosted in Osnabrück

Under the motto “broaden your network and horizon”, the 12th “Women in Science” symposium took place in Osnabrück on March 5 and 6. The conference was organised by Prof. Dr. Kerstin Bartscherer, Dr. Lena Tveriakhina and Prof. Dr. Bin Qu.

With its state-of-the-art imaging infrastructure, the CellNanOs offers unique opportunities to both researchers and students at Osnabrück University. Now, the Minister President of Lower Saxony was able to see this for himself during a guided tour.

At the beginning of 2026, a project was launched that focuses on the important contributions of botanical species conservation to natural climate protection. One of the project partners is the Botanical Garden at Osnabrück University.

For two days, particularly committed and high-achieving students were recently guests in our department. The occasion: Lower Saxony's state seminar for the third round of the International Biology Olympiad.
