CRC1366

The promotion of young researchers is a central goal of the CRC1366. Therefore, the Integrated Research Training Group (IRTG) "School of Angioscience" has been set up to provide training, mentoring and super­vision for PhD and MD research students on three levels: (1) within the participating research groups, (2) within existing roof graduate schools (e.g. HBIGS in Heidelberg/Mannheim), and (3) within the angio­science curriculum of the CRC1366. In this curriculum, a combination of de-central courses (“Student Retreats”), summer schools, seminars and a student exchange program is implemented to provide young researchers with CRC 1366-specific scientific, laboratory as well as communication and management skills that will ensure individual success and long-term advance-ment of angioscience research. Moreover, beyond the formal training aspect, the ITRG will be a hub for the junior scientists in the CRC 1366 to promote networking and scientific interactions to foster an atmosphere conducive for the strong collaborative spirit within the CRC 1366.
