The Dana Hocková lecture series started in 2023 to commemorate Dr. Dana Hocková (1970–2021), who was an accomplished scientist and role model to others at IOCB Prague and beyond. To read more and see the programme.


We invite oustanding female scientists with inspiring life stories (from Czechia and abroad) to present a scientific talk of general interest, followed by an informal career workshop. We plan 2-3 lectures each year.

Do you know of a great female scientist, who would be suitable for this series? Nominate her here.

You can also nominate potential WiS workshop speakers (for if you already have a speaker invited and think that she could also lead an interesting workshop for our early career researchers).
