Third ICPerMed Training Event on September 22nd
Written by Mª Cristina Nieto. Posted in News
ICPerMed will organise the 3rd “ICPerMed Training – Research Infrastructures in Personalised Medicine: use, advantages and challenges” which will take place on September 22nd, from 09:00 to 17:30, virtually.
Applications will be accepted till September, 18th 12:00 o’clock CEST.
The aim of this training is the promotion of the use of European Research Infrastructures in the biomedical field to better inform researchers on the potential use of Biological and Medical Research Infrastructures and the benefits arising from their use, to accelerate excellence, innovation and translation, but also make them aware of the barriers to be overcome.
Indeed, an increasingly complex and changing reality needs global interconnections between knowledge through a network of data and people dedicated to research, innovation and creativity and tools for the creation of such knowledge, as well as the transfer of results from research to the community.
It is therefore important to know how an infrastructure works and what obstacles need to be considered and avoided in order to use it.
When? September 22nd, 09:00 – 17:30 CEST
Where? online
Who can apply? Health professionals and researchers worldwide, with a reliable interest in personalised medicine (PM) and Research Infrastructures.
Deadline for application: September 18th h12:00 CEST
Language: English
Download: Flyer including programme
Registration: Please register here.
This online training is one of several activities of ICPerMed in order to support research and implementation of PM in Europe and beyond.
Participation is free of charge. A registration is required.
