Overview
Key facts
The Transplantation Medicine programme at the University of Groningen will be full of fascinating presentations, fun workshops, and challenging assignments.
Experts from all around the world will give lectures on the current advances and research in the field. Transplant donors and recipients will also join us to share their own experiences, which will allow participants to get an insight into the daily life of transplant patients. You might even get the chance to watch a live transplant operation!
Participants will also gather together in small groups to complete transplantation-medicine-related assignments, which will increase their understanding. Our goal is to stimulate discussions among participants and students’ interest in research from an early stage. We will also encourage contact between themselves and transplantation medicine specialists at our summer school.
