Education and training

The InFLAMES Flagship is dedicated to advancing the understanding of immunology and cultivating the scientific minds of the field. Towards these goals the flagship organizes education and training for members of InFLAMES Flagship, our industrial partners and general public. Most of the education is organized through InFLAMES Doctoral Module, but is available to interested parties outside it as well.

InFLAMES doctoral module

InFLAMES Doctoral Module organizes education for the Doctoral Researchers of InFLAMES-affiliated research groups focusing on the fields of immunology, immunology-based drug development and/or diagnostics. The courses of the module have been tailored to be suitable for Doctoral Researchers and students of comparable education level, but are generally available to other interested as well.

InFLAMES Doctoral Module has been designed to provide advanced education in immunology and immunology-related subjects with the goal of preparing participants for variable career paths in both academic and business sectors. The module consists of multiple submodules with variable compositions, containing for example lecture courses, seminars, research method studies, communication training, career guidance and education by the Flagship Professors of Practice.
