The goal is to allow young scientists (PhD students and young post-docs) to meet and interact with internationally-recognized experts in the field, recognizing that successful mentoring requires a
combination of critically reviewing scientific literature, sharing ideas and discussing new paradigms for future research.
The summer school will be of 4 full working days (plus arriving and departure days) that will be organized into:
i) a morning series of plenary lectures from experts in the field
ii) an afternoon series of presentation of young scientistsâ research
iii) an evening series of small thematic discussion groups
