RIGeL Summer School

The registration period is over. We still have places available. If you are interested in joining please send us an email to rigel.summerschool@ur.de.

Further information:

Like in the last years all RIGeL sections will have a joint Summer School, including PhD students of BioMediGS (Biomedical International Graduate School of the University Hospital). These should increase the interaction between the sections and both graduate schools and will help you to meet new people as well as get insight to new scientific areas. Since there will be participants from all different sections of RIGeL, please try to keep your talks and posters as general and easy to understand as possible!

Please send your abstract (max. 1500 characters in a Word file!) for poster and talk (10 min + 5 min discussion) until 27 May 2025 to Rigel.Summerschool@ur.de.

In the Summer School you will have the opportunity to get an overview of the different groups of the CBB, Biomedicine, Neurobiology and MEE sections of RIGeL as well as the BioMediGS graduate school of the Medical Faculty, exchange data and get new inputs and ideas for your projects. We will have guest speakers who will give an insight in their career path and job experience after their PhD or give a talk on a topic of general interest. Moreover, in a relaxed environment you can practice to present your data, to review others and to chair a scientific session. Thus, besides the presentation of your projects you will be given the opportunity to be chairpersons of scientific sessions. The chairpersons will be drawn by lot among all participants. In addition to the scientific exchange, the participants will also get to know each other personally.

On the first day of the Summer School a team event will be offered. We will have a canoe tour on the Vils.

Please remember that every PhD student has to participate actively in two RIGeL Summer Schools (1x poster, 1x talk or 2x talk) during her/his PhD in order to get the required RIGeL credit points.

A bus transfer will be organized for the Summer School. Please note that even participants who do not want to attend the team event have to arrive at the Summer School venue at latest in the afternoon on the first day. A travel by private car cannot be reimbursed!

We are looking forward to seeing you in the Summer School!
