"WebValley 2013": a new generation of scientists
Channel: FBK - Fondazione Bruno Kessler
Date: 22/11/2013

Here are a few of the 19 students who this summer worked day and night, for three weeks, to build a new system that will help biologists study cells and drugs.
'This was the mission of the group of Italian and foreign students aged 17 and 18 who participated in the thirteenth edition of WebValley, the summer study camp organized by the Trento based Fondazione Bruno Kessler and hosted in Trentino, in a high-tech lab located in a small Alpine village lying at the foot of the Dolomites, called Castello-Molina di Fiemme.
The scientific coordinator, Cesare Furlanello, together with his team of reseracher tutors from the "Predictive Models for Biomedicine and Environment Research Unit (MPBA)", accompanied the students, teaching them a new way to study mathematics, biology and computer science.The school aims to introduce students to interdisciplinary research by combining a scientific challenge and new technologies, fostering the participation of female and male students in projects and innovation.
The school's formula is to create a team of enthusiastic and motivated national and international high school students, tutored by international scientists as well.
The Lab is open all day, but group activities and leisure time are also part of the three weeks.
