This Winter School, which will run from 7 to 9 December, targets advanced Bachelor, Master and PhD students.
The event consists of two days of lectures, discussions and a poster session involving speakers (PIs and Students) from all the FORTHEM Universities. This will be a hybrid event with speakers and local students attending in presence on site, whereas international participants can attend online via Microsoft Teams, thus students from all FORTHEM universities will be able to join.
In four sessions, diverse topics related to cellular signaling will be presented and discussed. The sessions will cover the topics:
- “Signaling across Membranes”
- “Cell signaling in development and disease”
- “Signaling concepts in microorganisms”
- “Stress-related signaling/Toxicity” across various organisms
Each researcher will give a broad introduction of his/her topic, but will then let a student highlight a current research project. At the end of each day, 20 minutes will be provided for a short quiz, in which the students can use an app to answer questions as to the session talks, furthermore they will thus get inspired for the discussion breaks. Students attending on site have the opportunity to present their work in a poster session. This will encourage more fruitful discussions about science.
With this event we hope to foster increased interaction between the different FORTHEM Universities in the life sciences and to establish possible long-term teaching synergies and exchanges.
