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 within

• the participating research groups

• existing roof graduate schools

• the angioscience curriculum of the CRC1366

In this curriculum, a combination of decentral practical and theoreti­cal courses ('Student Retreats'), summer schools and seminar series are implemented. Completion of the program complements training provided by the hosting roof graduate school and provides young investigators with CRC1366-specific scientific skills and competencies, as well as laboratory management and communication skills that will ensure individual success and long-term advancement of angioscience research. Beyond the formal training aspect, the ITRG is a hub for junior researchers in SFB 1366, serving the important purpose of networking and exchange to foster an atmosphere conducive to the strong collaborative spirit within SFB 1366.
