The Neuro-SysMed Research School in Translational Neuroscience

The Research School aims to provide PhD candidates with relevant courses to fulfil mandatory credit points (ECTS) for the PhD training program at the University of Bergen. Another important objective is to provide an ambitious and inspiring environment to motivate future research among junior scientists as well as established senior researchers, and to help them in developing their scientific network for future career development. The Neuro-SysMed Research School in Translational Neuroscience is coordinated by Agnete Engelsen in collaboration with the Neuro-SysMed director and co-director.

Open courses

Who can participate in The Neuro-SysMed Research School in Translational Neuroscience?

Several of the courses are open to other than students (PhD, master, students in the Medical Student Research Program), such as researchers, postdocs, and others who are interested, nationally and internationally. The research school is aiming at being inclusive and open also for PhD candidates who are not associated to the University of Bergen, by offering guest student participation. 

An objective for the research school is also to provide the candidates an identity and a long- term benefit of being involved in Neuro-SysMed. A formal enrollment at the research school will strengthen networking and interactional skills in a scientific environment – being out most important for future research careers. 

Seven courses

Currently, we have 7 established courses providing PhD candidates with a total of 19 ECTS. See list below with the course portfolio.
