Experience hosting international researchers, career development & training programmes, outreach activities
Our unit has supervised more than 20 international students over the last five years. Several ERS fellowship recipients had a great time in Amsterdam.
Career development is embedded in the Graduate School of the university, offering multiple courses https://www.amc.nl/web/leren/graduate-school/phd-1/general-information-on-phd-course-program.htm gives an overview of the courses. There are weekly scientific meetings for clinical studies and laboratory studies. The Graduate School is available for all researchers. All courses have a first come first served basis and some courses are booked up to 6 months ahead. However, all courses are as available to RESPIRE recipients as to any other researcher. There is a monthly journal club. Researchers visit multiple international conferences.
Living in Amsterdam will provide a new perspective on daily life; travel to work on your bike and live in one of the most exciting cities of Europe. We received the feedback that was one of the most transformative experiences fellowship recipients had.
