Abstract

The EMBO Young Investigator PhD course is organized by the Young Investigators for their PhD students. The objective of the course is to provide students with a broad overview in a number of different areas of the biological sciences, paired with some practical aspects taught in the form of tutorials. Additionally each student presents his/her research project in a journal club like format with a poster. A grant proposal is prepared during the course by the students. Proposals are presented and discussed at the end of the course to prepare students to write their own competitive proposals in the future. Training sessions will include sessions on presentation skills, thesis management, scientific writing and session on how to talk about your science to the non-scientist. A round table discussion on Careers in academic science will round off the course. The exposure to the first class, international scientific environment provided by the course teachers at the EMBL and the diversity of the teachers and participants, both in terms of scientific interest and nationality, help shape the students future perspectives.
