Topics/Call fo Papers

INEB (Instituto de Engenharia Biomédica), University of Porto, IPATIMUP (Instituto de Patologia e Imunologia Molecular da Universidade do Porto) and IBEC (Institut de Bioenginyeria de Catalunya, Barcelona) have decided to organize a series of Advanced Summer Schools under the general theme of Interrogations at the Biointerface.

The Summer schools have duration of five days and include lectures and hands-on lab sessions. They will run alternatively in Porto and Barcelona, preferably around the 23rd of June. InBarcelona, San Juan is taking place in the night of the 23rd June and is known as the "night of fire". São João is the biggest festival of Porto calendar, and one of Europe's liveliest street parties.

INEB and IPATIMUP are hosting the 1stAdvanced Summer School of the series that will focus on the Cancer/Regeneration Interface and be held in Porto from the 20th to the 24th of June 2011.

Participation will be credited according to the ECTS (European Credit Transfer System).

A previous series of advanced courses run by INEB was held also at this time of the year. The general theme was Cell-Biomaterial Interactions and over 100 participants from ca. 12 countries attended each course. Distinctive features of these courses were: top-notch scientists, mainly from Europe and the United States, were invited as guest speakers; two days of hands-on lab sessions on advanced laboratory techniques were organized for a limited number of participants (ca. 20); the targeted audience were PhD students and post-Docs; posters presented by students were discussed in detail with faculty members, who stayed for the first three days.

A relaxing atmosphere and a (usually…) nice weather also helped in making these courses a success.
