This year's RIGeL-BioMediGS Summer Schools will take place on Thursday and Friday 25-26 June 2026 and 17-18 September 2026 in the Emmeramforum in Regensburg (Emmeramsplatz 3, https://www.emmeramforum.de/index.html)

The registration period for both Summer Schools will be from 26 March to 10 April 2026. RIGeL PhD students, who have started their PhD earlier than July/August 2024, have the chance to register first for one of the Summer Schools from 16 to 25 of March 2026. Please note, that only PhD students already accepted for RIGeL can register for the Summer Schools! Due to the limited places in both Summer Schools we also kindly ask you to register only for one of the Summer Schools!

For the registration you will receive an email.  

During registration you can choose, in which Summer School you want to participate. Each section has a limited contingent of places according to the size of the section. If the places of your section are fully booked, please register in the waiting list! During registration please take care of the correct choice of your section!!! and the participation form! The registration is on a first come, first served basis.

Please send your abstract (max. 1500 characters in a Word file!) for poster and talk (10 min + 5 min discussion) until 29 May 2026 for the June Summer School and until 10 August 2026 for the September Summer School to Rigel.Summerschool@ur.de.

Like in the last years all RIGeL sections will have joint Summer Schools, 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!

In the Summer Schools 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. In both Summer Schools 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.

During the first Summer School on the 25^th of June 10 participants will have the opportunity to participate in a hands-on workshop on ÄKTA by Cytiva from 11:00 to 12:30 and from 14:00 to 15:30. Please indicate during registration whether you are interested in the workshop. If more then 10 persons register, participants will be draw by lot!

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.

We are looking forward to seeing you in one of our Summer Schools!
