Workshops

Together with other Life Science CRCs located in Cologne, we continuously and jointly organize workshops targeting the specific needs of our students and postdocs - especially for early-career researchers. This workshop program has been launched in 2025 and we aim to keep providing high quality workshops throughout this funding period.

Please note for all our Life Science workshops:

Cancellations after receiving an official confirmation for your registration are only possible if a replacement for you can be found.
However, a registration does not guarantee a spot in a workshop. You will be notified accordingly.
