The Centre for Innovative Bioscience Education (BioCEN) was established 20 years ago!
We work to bridge the gap between the scientific community and society by providing educational activities that popularize modern biology among the broader community. We use innovative educational methods to provide hands-on experience in the topics of interest. We have professionally equipped laboratories in Warsaw and also deliver our workshops in various places outside the city, especially in schools in small towns and villages.
Our activities are based on sound scientific results. Learning and applying the scientific method are keys to understanding both science and today’s world as a remedy to exposure to inaccurate information that influences almost every area of modern life, including public and social relations, the environment, health, security, and politics.
BioCEN receives financial support from the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IIMCB) in Warsaw, which has been BioCEN’s Strategic Sponsor since 2015, Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology
(Polish Academy of Sciences), Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics (Polish Academy of Sciences), the University of Warsaw Faculty
of Biology, and the BioEducation Foundation. Recently we are also supported by Council for Promoting the Science PAS and Department of Physics and Biophysics in the Institute of Biology in Warsaw University of Life Sciences.
