The course will run from Monday to Friday. Each day will cover a different topic and 4-5 lectures from local researchers (one 1h long lecture) and foreigner speakers (2 lectures). In the evening, during dinner, the students will present their research in the format of 10 minutes of chalk talk using only a whiteboard (2 evenings). To motivate students to interact with speakers, we will assign each speaker to 2 students. Students will be expected to read recent papers from the speaker’s lab, to introduce the speaker, chair questions after his/her talk, and to serve as a guide/host for the speaker during the course.
workshop:
To share with students challenges in adjusting the professional and personal time, on Wednesday evening we will organize “Science and Life” dinner when the international speakers will join students over dinner to talk about their life in science, their achievements and their failures, good and bad about moments in their carrier. We would like to hear about inspirations, satisfaction, motivations… but also about the challenges and difficulties in our jobs and how that reflects on our personal life.

Courses will be taught in English. While the whole course will be open to everyone, the students’ presentations will be restricted to selected students.
