An annual summer school attended by 70 government funded doctoral students undertaking clinical and applied research with the intention of providing delegates with advice and information about developing their translational research career.
The programme includes plenary presentations, small group mentoring, practical workshops, oral and poster presentations of submitted work and a dinner with a prize giving ceremony.
Attendees work in small mixed, professional groups to prepare and present a research proposal to a panel of research funders who provide a critique of the proposals and assess their funding potential.
