The ESGCT Spring School

08-11 APRIL 2024

POTTSDAM, 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.

Accommodation & Registration

This year, we are moving away from the retreat format, the Spring School will be organised at the TKK an institute located by the Danube very near the center of Budapest. We have also identified a hotel for the speakers where we will organise one of the evening activities, this is the Continental Hotel but if you would like to stay there you would have to book your own rooms and you are of course welcome to book any hotel which matches your budget.

 

We invite leading experts in the field of gene and cell therapy to share their knowledge in presentations and workshops. Students will also have the opportunity to spend time with them during the social events throughout the programme.

 

Please read the following information carefully before you apply.

 

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 Hungary in March.

​

Please note

We will hold a waiting list for students who have attended a previous Spring School and would like to attend again, and also for anyone whose lab has already used their 6 places, in case any additional places become available due to cancellations. 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.

​

Please read your confirmation email and pre-Spring School emailer (which will be sent closer to the date) carefully for more details.
