The summer school is organized by the PhD students of the Integrated Research Training Group (IRTG), which is part of the University’s Collaborative Research Center (CRC) SFB 944. Within the CRC, several research groups of the biology and physics departments from the Universities of Osnabrück and Münster work closely together with a common interest in studying microcompartments as basic functional units of a variety of cells. The aim of the Summer School is to bring together distinguished scientists from different disciplines for intense scientific discussions on this topic.

Our International Summer School will take place as a conference in the Bohnenkamp-Haus at the Botanical Garden from September 21st to 22nd, 2012. The panel of invited speakers is intended to represent the variety of topics and approaches, but also the common interest in studying the function and dynamics of cellular microcompartments. Interested students and scientists from Osnabrück and elsewhere are cordially invited to join the sessions. For the PhD students of our CRC, it will be a unique opportunity to get into contact with outstanding international scientists to discuss science and share insights.
