Early Career Scientists Committee (ECSC)

 Paul Janssen Futurelab Leiden is an international blended learning (online and on-campus) training program for entrepreneurial biomedical professionals.  This blend of online education and on-campus training is a perfect match for talented biomedical scientists who have the ambition to become the future generation Chief Scientific Officers. 

 ENOVA is a science and technology “Network on Vaccine Adjuvants”, funded by COST through the EU Framework Programme Horizon 2020. These ENOVA COST Action funded training Schools will provide participants with both theoretical and practical insights into vaccines and vaccine adjuvants. They will be held at locations of ENOVA members and will host 12 to 15 early stage researchers.   

 The TRANSVAC2 Consortium has set up training modules at leading European centres (in collaboration with WP18 partners) that can be combined to create customised international courses on vaccine R&D. Participants can select topics as needed in their field of vaccine development, and the timelines of the various modules will be harmonised in a way that allows a logical continuation from one topic to the other. 

 EMBO helps young scientists to advance their research, promote their international reputations and ensure their mobility. Courses, workshops, conferences and EMBO Press publications disseminate the latest research and offer training in techniques to maintain high standards of excellence in research practice. EMBO helps to shape science policy by seeking input and feedback from our community and by following closely the trends in science. 

 The Helis Academy strives to optimise the Life Sciences and Health sector in Flanders and the Netherlands. The Helis Academy focuses on the development and coordination of appropriate training, internships and traineeships in the Life Sciences and Health sector by matching companies' job requirements and profiles to curricula and develops new training programs where needed. In this way, the academy increases the industry-readiness of life scientists. 

 One of the goals of ELIXIR (Europe's distributed infrastructure for life-science data) is to train research scientists to better use available computational infrastructures to address critical research questions. This requires access both to face-to-face training opportunities and to disparate training materials and resources, currently dispersed across Europe. TeSS is ELIXIR's training platform, providing a one-stop shop for trainers
and trainees to discover online information and content.
