Research courses at KBC cover a lot of state of the art techniques and methods within life and natural sciences. The courses are mainly organised by the KBC Core Facilities and Infrastructures. The courses are usually open to all PhD students and Postdocs, and other users of the core facilities at KBC. External users or collaborators with KBC are welcome to participate.
Registration deadline: 13 January 2025
Please note that registration does not guarantee you a place in a course, especially when there is a limited number of places. You will be notified by the course organiser if you are accepted to the course. The organiser will also provide you with the course schedule and detailed information about the course.
The KBC Communication office is supporting with announcement and organisation. Contact the communication officers for general questions at info.kbc@umu.se.
