WHAT OUR EUREKIANS ARE SAYING

Nikmah S. Idris

I am particularly impressed by the diversity of the groups and the fact that it will be the same situation we face when we would like to practice translational medicine. Also I learnt a lot about how to cope with challenges and hurdles. I will spread the concept of translational medicine in my home institution, at least by writing an article in local journals.

Rosie Davies

Inspirational, innovative, interactive. Actually the best course that I’ve ever attended. Met some of the best and exciting minds in the business – and that’s not counting the students!

Alex Koven

After this Summer School I’ve become even more inspired to get involved in a translational medicine research project, as well as continue to help build the Apollo Toronto program. In addition to inspiration, I’m leaving with more knowledge, practical strategies and a valuable toolkit to assist me in these goals!

Andriany Qanitha

What an inspirational Summer School. I am so grateful for being part of this dynamic group, who I believe will become future leaders and make a change for better future. Especially in translational medicine, I got some new knowledge, enhance new networks and in some point I get a connection with you guys. Thank you for this week.

Nina de Gruijter

Choices are sacrifices and eventuall that means giving up something you want for something you want more. We all want to be successful scientists and famous for our results and outcomes, but this week I (and hopefully more people) have decided I will give my effort and inspiration to reach one goal only: better care and well-being for patients and people. I look forward to the future!

Eureka International Summer Course on Translational Medicine
DateTo be confirmed for 2024
LocationUtrecht, The Netherlands
Course FeeTo be confirmed for 2024
HousingTo be confirmed for 2024
Target AudienceAdvanced Master, PhD students, early Post-docs and fellows
Course AimsBy the end of this course, students will be able to:
  • Articulate how a translational approach to scientific research can expedite the movement of knowledge to improvements in health
  • Describe the critical role of patients in translational research and list ways of engaging them in the process
  • Define and the basic knowledges and skills required in translational research
  • Grow their professional international network of translational researchers

Like previous editions this Summer School is aimed at younger students than those attending the Eureka ICC: from late Masters to early postdoc and has a focus on Translational Medicine in Orphan diseases and the prevention of waste in science. The programme is built along the same lines, but directed at more junior students. It has an esteemed international faculty of mostly Eureka alumni and faculty. The course was very highly valued by the participants; even in the virtual versions during the pandemic. Participants incessantly report that the school helped them to give direction to their future as translational scientist. 

Come to the Summer Course and you will not only obtain insight in how science really works, but more importantly, you will acquire knowledge on how to be a successful translational researcher yourself. This course is specifically not about learning how to ‘play the game’, but about understanding that there is a game going on, what the rules of the game are and to be able to transcend it.
