IRTG Workshop Science Communication
2026-06-18 09:00 - 13:00 | Flex Geb. Seminarraum EG, Weyertal 115c
The Team of the University of Cologne department of Comunication and Marketing, lead by Dr. Elisabeth Hoffmann, offers for our SFB a Coaching and Training morning in science communication. Addressing different target groups in science and society is a challenge, especially for young scientists in basic research. However, mastering this challenge is necessary in order to establish oneself in research in the long term. In this first workshop, the different target groups and their requirements will be examined and strategies developed on how to approach them.

SUMMER SCHOOL
“Eye and inflammation”
Join the SFB 1607 Summer School and dive into the exciting and rapidly evolving field of “Eye & Inflammation.” Designed for PhD candidates, postgraduate researchers, and medical students, this program brings together leading experts and motivated early-career scientists to explore cutting-edge topics such as corneal inflammation and (lymph)angiogenesis, immune-mediated and (neo)vascular vision loss, metabolism in eye diseases, and innovative approaches including stem cell research and AI-driven imaging.
Beyond inspiring lectures, participants will gain hands-on experience in interactive workshops covering techniques like flow cytometry, microscopy, OCT imaging, and bioinformatics—while building valuable international connections in a collaborative setting. The Summer School takes place from September 7–11, 2026, in Cologne, Germany.
