Every semester a one day symposium is organized by a team of PhD students for seminars and posters presented by a selection of senior students in the NAWI Graz Doctoral School. All PhD students of the affiliated institutes are invited to attend. For each DocDay event, two guest lecturers are invited to give plenary seminars about their research. Elisa Lanfranchi recently won "Best Speaker Award" at the 14th Doc Day of the NAWI Graz Doctoral School of Molecular Biosciences and Biotechnology with her presentation titled "Unique and novel enzymes catalyzing cyanide release in fern."

A Kyrobio masterclass took place recently in the Linnaeusborg, the modern Biology building of the University of Groningen on the Zernike campus. This 1-week Kyrobio masterclass aimed to make students and post-docs familiar with the use of computational and bioinformatics tools for enzyme engineering. The improved accessibility of many tools brings them within reach of the wet biochemistry and organic chemistry labs. The program consisted of morning lectures by various speakers who presented the basic principles of computational methods and recent highlights from their own research.
