Upcoming GSCN events

Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften in Berlin on 17 June 2023
Basic research, new therapies, testing drugs, understanding biological development - stem cells play a major role in many fields of research. The German Stem Cell Network (GSCN) and the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH) take a multimedia approach to these fascinating cells at the Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften.

GSCN mentoring program 2023/24

NEW: Extended Deadline for Applications: 15 June 2023
The GSCN mentoring program offers a one-of-a-kind chance to obtain orientation and guidance during the decision-making process by established stem cell researchers and experts working outside academia in related fields such as industry, communication, or science management in Germany.
Next to an intense mentor-relationship it includes three workshops and the chance to create an own network with current, future and previous mentees of the program.
The application deadline for the GSCN Mentoring Program is 15 June 2023.
The new program starts 14 Sept. 2023 in Ulm at the GSCN Conference.
More information can be found here.
