BCP networks are designed to promote interdisciplinary networking and research among young scientists at the Department of Biology, Chemistry, Pharmacy. The networks are characterized by the following features:

• Interdisciplinary, distinct, scientific topic (according to Dept. BCP)
• Interdisciplinary network of up to 25 doctoral researchers from at least 3 different working groups within the Dept. BCP, preferable from 2 different institutes of the Dept. BCP (advanced Master's students and postdocs as well as external young researchers can also participate)
• Advice and support by one or more experienced scientists
• Regular meetings or events (possible formats, e.g., seminars, colloquia, lab visits, lab workshops, etc.)
• Temporarily or permanently designed

The BCP networks are supported by the Graduate Center, e.g. in the financing of guest speakers or in the presentation on the website.
