The other week, the Belfrage Hall was filled with final year high school students, natural scientists from Katedralskolan, who listened to the Faculty´s young researchers presentations about their research projects.

The invited high school students came from Katedralskolan in Lund and are in their final year of the natural science programme and have chosen medical orientation as their specialisation. 

The students are about to apply to the university and the Faculty would like to show them what they could work with in the field of neuroscience research. At the same time, the grant recipients, our young researchers, will have an opportunity to organize a symposium and practice presenting their projects to a wider public. A rewarding half day with nice popular science lectures and many very wise thoughts and questions from the high school students.
