Digital Masterclass for PhD Students, Trainees and Young Investigators

Digital Masterclass for PhD Students, Trainees and Young Investigators
Organised by: ECTS and GEMSTONE COST-Action
Location: Virtual Event
Date: 23-25 June 2020

Description

The rapid spread of the novel coronavirus and the resulting nationwide security measures have required the cancellation or postponement of several events to take place between March and June 2020.

ECTS and GEMSTONE Cost-Action are pleased to offer the community with an innovative digital event, the ECTS-GEMSTONE Digital Masterclass for PhD Students, Trainees and Young Investigators.

It will be an engaging event with opportunities to network, interact with other participants and speakers.  There will be interactive workshops, time for students to present their research projects and receive feedback, mentoring sessions.

The course starts with an “introductory session” where key topics relevant to skeletal research are covered, followed by a varied programme that incorporates clinical and basic topics with a mix of speakers with clinical or basic science backgrounds.

Aims & learning outcomes

  • To promote knowledge about physiology and pathology of bone and calcium metabolism
  • To promote knowledge about methods in bone research
  • To promote networking between European PhD students in the bone field

At the end of the course, participants should:

  • Understand bone biology, the interaction and communication between bone and other tissues, transcriptional control of bone cells and bone cell signaling
  • Have knowledge of rare diseases affecting bone
  • Understand the interactions of the immune system and bone
  • Have knowledge of phenotyping models of bone diseases
  • Have knowledge of the cutting edge technology
  • Be able to present and discuss their PhD project
