INFRASTRUCTURE

Science that matters. A career with a future.

The BioMedChem Doctoral School of the University of Lodz and the PAS Institutes in Lodz offers a vibrant academic environment designed for modern, interdisciplinary doctoral training. Its greatest asset is its extensive and diverse research, teaching, and administrative infrastructure, comprising five renowned scientific institutions and the modern Doctoral Schools Centre (CSD) at the University of Lodz.

A) ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT and INTEGRATION CENTRE

At the heart of the school’s organizational life is the Doctoral Schools Centre (CSD), located on the first floor of the University of Lodz’s 14th Student Dormitory – famously known as the Tower of Babel – on Pomorska Street in Lodz.

The CSD is more than a physical space. It is a cutting-edge support facility for all doctoral schools at the University of Lodz, including the BioMedChem Doctoral School of the University of Lodz and PAS Institutes.

It is here that people with a passion for science meet. It is here that new research ideas, teams, and friendships are born. Thanks to the CSD, the four doctoral schools now share a true academic community hub – a place that inspires and facilitates the daily life of PhD students.

Spanning 1175 m², the space includes:

Teaching Area:

• Four seminar rooms (15–20 people)

• One large workshop room (25–30 people)

• Individual workroom with computers

• Comfortable relaxation zone (armchairs, beanbags, sofas)

• Nursing room (with changing table)

Administrative Area:

• Doctoral school secretaries’ offices

• Directors’ offices

• Two conference rooms (15 and 30–40 people)
