For these events, a scientist of international standing is invited to conduct a seminar or otherwise interact with the CNIO’s team of researchers. Several of these are scheduled over the course of the year and are open to the public. Participants come from different fields, literature and technology included. The aim is to create a stimulating environment that helps to clear minds of stale thoughts and replace them with new ideas.
