The Talent-CGT – Teach the Teacher Workshop will take place on June 8th, at ESSL, from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM. This workshop aims to promote the scientific training of ESSL faculty, enhance teaching capacity in the field of cell and gene therapies, and strengthen the internationalization of ESSL.
Cell and gene therapies (CGT) are transforming healthcare by offering innovative solutions for diseases that were previously considered untreatable. However, the rapid progress in this field has created a significant skills gap, both in education and in the training of professionals across Europe.
This training is part of the European Talent-CGT project, in which ESSL is a partner institution. It aims to equip ESSL faculty, as well as other interested participants, positioning ESSL at the forefront of education and training in this field at the European level.
Target audience | Higher education faculty and laboratory technical staff.
The training will be delivered in English.
