RTG-NCA meets MSc Students
Wednesday, 26.06.2019
To promote networking and exchange of experience between different stages of scientific education the RTG-NCA is organising an event that aims at bringing together current doctoral candidates of the RTG with M.Sc. candidates of the subject module "Neurobiology".
In an interactive session doctoral candidates will pitch their thesis topics (research foci, methodology, supervision, project relevance in the contemporary neuroscience, structured education programme) and will furthermore provide an insight to their tracks focusing on topics like:
1. What to consider during Master studies in preparation for a PhD
2. When to start looking for a PhD position
3. What do coordinated PhD programmes offer
4. What criteria are important when choosing a PhD programme
5. What to consider when choosing the research area of a Masters project
The event will offer ample time for scientific and strategic questions and informal exchange.
Venue: Seminar room 1st floor 1.007 –
Biocenter (Zülpicher Str. 47b, building 304)

1st Bonn-Köln Neuroscience Symposium
On Wednesday, 03.07.2019 a joint symposium will be organised at the DZNE in Bonn:
To foster interaction between the different colleagues, groups and topics in the neurosciences in Bonn and Cologne a joint conference is organized. The choice of speakers and their topics reflects the span of neuroscientific areas of research at both locations.
During the talk sessions, lunch break and poster sessions there will be ample of time for fruitful scientific interaction and exchange.
The one day conference will be wrapped-up by an informal get-together, a Summer BBQ.
Venue:
Deutsches Zentrum für Neurodegenerative Erkrankungen e. V. (DZNE)
Venusberg, Bonn
Sigmund-Freud-Straße 27, 53127 Bonn
Feel cordially invited to attend the meeting.
To register please follow this link: 1st Bonn-Köln Neuroscience Symposium
The meeting is generously supported by the Bonn SFB1089, ImmunoSensation2 and
the Cologne RTG-NCA | RTG 1960.
Participation is free of charge, however prior registration is required.
Certificates of attendance will be issued upon request after 15.07.2019.

GFBio – Supporting researchers throughout the data life cycle
Abstract: The German Federation for Biological Data (GFBio) is a consortium of 19 institutions within Germany, currently funded by DFG. Its mission is to build and maintain a central platform of expertise and infrastructure for the management of biological and environmental data to facilitate data sharing and stimulate data intensive biological and environmental sciences. GFBio brings together Germany's key players in the field of biological data and information management to harmonize the national biological data landscape. For researchers GFBio offers a central access point with support for all aspects of data management – from the proposal stage to the long term archival of research data.
