The program will be arranged so that lectures will be held in the morning and early evening. The afternoons will be largely free except that on most days discussions will be held in the late afternoon at selected places on the Island. At least one excursion will be planned to visit sites such as Mycene and Epidaurus. We strongly encourage the presentation of posters by the participants as this activity greatly enhances the interaction between the participants and lecturers and significantly contributes to the programme. In addition, significant time will be reserved for participants to present their results as a plenary lecture of 10 min.
Selection is made from the posters by a committee of participants.
The course is for students currently performing a PhD in signal transduction and early post-docs. We expect a certain basal level of understanding in this field. Although introductory lectures will be given, in depth discussions are an essential aspect of the course. We will select students based on a fairly detailed curriculum vitae and statement of current research interests as well as an explanation of why attendance at the course would further the applicant's own research work. In addition, we will need an abstract and a letter of recommendation by the supervisor.
