Abstract. Some suggestions are sketched concerning the positive impact the introductory lecture on biophysics could have on the undergraduate students. The basic idea is that, especially with this occasion, the teachers have the opportunity to emphasize the role, importance and impact of biophysics on the approach of living matter. The introductory lecture should be a very impressive and challenging one, aiming to attract the students towards this fascinated field of life sciences. However, these suggestions do not preclude the possibilities offered by the other lectures to make short incursions into the past or present life of biophysicists and to emphasize their remarkable scientific achievements.
