Journal Club

Journal Club in 2026

Rules

Journal Club is held every Friday from 13:30.
The manager of JC will automatically fill the calender with JC speakers.
The schedule of upcoming JCs will be announced both on the mailing list and on the calendar.
The order of the JC speakers is listed at the bottom of this page.
If you are unable to give a talk on those dates, please negotiate with other speakers on your own.
