Bergen Biomedical Research School
The Bergen Biomedical Research School is the research school at the Department of Biomedicine. We provide a local arena where young researchers can socialise, build a research network, and exchange ideas. At monthly seminars, our PhD candidates present and discuss their own research. We want to provide transferable skills, career perspectives, a social network, and an academic foundation that will supplement the research education offered by the Faculty of Medicine.
