Research Training at the Bijvoet School

The Bijvoet School provides multidisciplinary education and research training, bringing together aspects from chemistry, biology, pharmacy, and medicine. Training opportunities for MSc and PhD students, and postdoctoral fellows are offered locally as well as through international networks, for instance, European-wide Research Training Networks and Marie Curie Training Sites.
