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 – in Matejki 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)

 

 

B) CONDUCTING RESEARCH

Doctoral candidates carry out their research projects in five specialized institutions:

At the University of Lodz:

• Faculty of Biology and Environmental Protection [link]
• Faculty of Chemistry [link]

At PAS Institutes in Lodz:

• Institute of Medical Biology PAS [link]
• Centre of Molecular and Macromolecular Studies PAS [link]
• European Regional Centre for Ecohydrology PAS (under the auspices of UNESCO) [link]

Each of these institutions provides access to advanced laboratory infrastructure and unique research resources in biology, chemistry, medicine, biotechnology, and environmental sciences.

 

 

What do you gain as a doctoral student?

• Access to modern laboratories at the University of Lodz and PAS Institutes
• Administrative support in one dedicated location
• Space for individual and collaborative work
• Conditions conducive to focus and recovery
• A place to integrate with fellow PhD students
• Professional equipment (interactive whiteboards, multimedia, high-speed internet)

 

 

The BioMedChem Doctoral School of the University of Lodz and PAS Institutes in Lodz is not just a place of education – it is a carefully designed ecosystem that supports scientific, professional, and personal development.

Mgr Kacper Stoś, a jurist (from UL Doctoral School of Social Sciences), is a graduate of the UL Faculty of Law and Administration, a member of legal advisory team at UL Institutional Council of Doctoral Students, a doctoral students’ representative in the Institutional Electoral Commission during the 2024-2028 term, a doctoral students’ representative at Departmental Council of UL Faculty of Law and Administration during the 2024-2028 term, and a Local Ambassador of Doctoral Student’s Rights in Łódź.
