In collaboration with the Medical School Hannover, Hildegard Büning
OUR 2025 academy will take place at the Institut de Myologie in paris
WITH A focus on neuromuscular diseases
26 to 29 august 2025
ESGCT is committed to the training and support of students and early career researchers, and as part of this remit, are organising a yearly ESGCT Academy.
Have you ever wanted to discuss your PhD project with leading experts in the field? Then the ESGCT Academy is the right place for you…
In contrast to our Spring School, which is an advanced lecture course, the ESGCT Academy is your turn to present and get feedback. Each Academy is dedicated to a distinct topic. This time, the ESGCT Academy is focusing on the Development of gene and cell-based approaches in neuromuscular disease. If you undertake your PhD project on this or a closely related topic you are eligible to attend.
During this workshop, you and your fellow students will present your projects and receive advice and feedback from your fellow students and leading experts in the field, in a relaxed and supportive environment. Our experts will be present during the whole workshop to share their expertise as well as to present their own work.
As you know, when you start finishing your PhD thesis, questions on possible career tracks are starting to arise. We therefore will include talks on career options and invite you to discuss with mentors to address your questions openly.
The Academy also includes the chance to see “behind the scenes”: This time with visits to Genethon, an introduction to AFM Telethon, a tour through the Institute of Myology and an exchange with patients and their families.
