POTSDAM, GERMANY

The ESGCT Spring School is a 3-day meeting of presentations and workshops focused on academic students as the primary attendees. We do not accept returning students, so that we can give more people the opportunity to attend a Spring School. 

We invite leading experts in the field of gene and cell therapy to share their knowledge and give participating students the opportunity to spend time with them during the social events.

The event is open to all academic students who are members of ESGCT. However, please note that we will not accept registrations from any students who have attended a previous ESGCT Spring School or those who are based in industry. 

 

Up to 6 places will be available per institute to enable as many students as possible from a wide variety of institutes to attend. There will be a cap on the total number of places, so please register promptly to avoid disappointment.

 

If you meet all of the above criteria, we will be pleased to receive your registration and look forward to seeing you in Postdam in April.  Please register by 15 February after which date we will open the remaining spaces for the waiting list.

Please note

We will hold a waiting list for students who have attended a previous Spring School and would like to attend again, or for anyone whose lab has already used their 6 places. Please email events@esgct.eu if you would like to join the waiting list.

​

Should you not be able to attend once you have booked your place, please let us know asap so that we can offer your place to someone else on the waiting list.
