The meeting was a reminder that we all, students, doctoral candidates, and staff, form one strong academic community. The festive atmosphere was created by the most beautiful Christmas carols performed by the WUM Choir, as well as pieces performed by the student band Music Based Medicine. At the end of the event, all participants joined in singing “Midst Quiet Night”, a popular Polish Christmas carol.
