The aim of this activity is to provide knowledge given by top-notch experts on the most advanced medical and biosciences research areas to two groups of participants: 1. Undergraduate students of medical and biosciences background. 2. Graduate students, post-doctoral researchers and physicians in training (residents and clinical fellows). In addition, the Summer School in Biomedical Research & Management aims to familiarize the students with “actual life” situations that scientists from Academia or the Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology industry deal with on daily basis. Science Focus Research broadly related to Cancer, Immunology, Cardiovascular Science, Neuroscience, Novel Technologies, clinical, basic science, bioengineering or biotechnology, and public health problems. Disciplines Applications are encouraged for students and postgraduate trainees of all basic biomedical disciplines as well as epidemiological, behavioral and clinical investigations. Target Audience Student applicants (undergraduate and graduate level) At the time of application, a student applicant must be a medical or biosciences (Biology, Biochemistry, Genetics, Bioengineering, Pharmacy etc.) undergraduate or graduate (MSc. MPhil, PharmD or PhD) student. At the time of participation in the Summer School, the student applicant may hold a BSc, MD, MSc or PhD degree (for applicants that they are in their final year of undergraduate or graduate studies). Average grade in the transcript for undergraduate and MSc students must be at least 75% of the highest possible grade (or B+). For PhD students.a MSc degree of at least 75% of the highest possible grade (or B+) and successful passing of the PhD qualifying exams are required. Postgraduate applicants (postdoctoral researchers and physicians in training) At the time of application a post-graduate applicant should actively conduct research or participate in a clinical training program (for physicians in training) Financial support 40 students (undergraduate and graduate level, postdoctoral researchers and physicians in training) will be selected based on their academic record. All 40 students will be sponsored for the following expenses: - Hotel staying (May 15 - 22, 2016) - Transfer between Athens International Airport and summer school location (to be announced soon) Required application documents - Curriculum Vitae For undergraduate and graduate students: 1 page For postdocs and physcians in training: up to 3 pages. - Personal Statement (up to 500 words) - Transcript (for students only) Application Review Criteria To judge the merit of the application, reviewers will comment on the following criteria.
