NextImmune - PhD Training Program
Training events
NextImmune aims to provide PhD candidates with the best starting points for their future successful career in biomedical science.
Among others, one of the specific training aims of our programme is to train the next generation immunologists to be able to not only perform wet lab experiments, but also handle large-scale datasets.
Approaches:
- High standard pre-selection of promising PhD candidates
- Supervision constellation for each PhD student: either 2 PIs (junior PIs; cross-disciplinary or “sister projects”) or 1 PI & 1 “cross-disciplinary” mentor
- Early “boot camps” and NextImmune annual retreats
- Organised as block seminar weeks every year
- PhD students rotate through partner labs
- Daily seminars in TAT domains outside PhD project focus
NEXTIMMUNE: BRIDGING THE GAP – Thematic Area Training (TAT)
- Organised as block seminar weeks every year
- PhD students rotate through partner labs
