1st Chromatin3D Summer School

Summer schools will take place during year 2 and 4 devoted to develop specific issues in depth. The Chromatin3D PIs and invited scientists worldwide will discuss research on relevant topics. These will be mandatory for all Chromatin3D ESRs. Summer schools will be ~4 days long at a resort to isolate the group and facilitate interactions and will precede the relevant annual Chromatin3D meetings. In this way, the ESRs will be in a superb position to take full advantage and digest the excellent possibilities that an international meeting offers. Each summer school will have the participation of at least half of the Chromatin3D PIs plus 3-7 invited speakers. At least one of such invitees will focus on ethical issues and at least one on academia-industry interactions and biotech/pharma work. The first summer school will be coordinated by FORTH in collaboration with the Weizmann Institute in the island of Crete. The University of Edinburgh in collaboration with IDIBELL will coordinate the second summer school. Both summer schools will be open to 20 additional participants. Chromatin3D’s ESRs will be actively involved in organising both schools participating in the advertisement of the events and selecting external speakers.
