We currently do not have an ISS call open.
If you are interested in a research internship at IMB, find out more about the IMB Internship Programme.
Between 2012 and 2024, IMB successfully organised the International Summer School (ISS), a 6-week programme offering prospective scientists the opportunity to develop their skills in an informal and stimulating international environment.
Since 2012, the ISS has hosted 198 outstanding undergraduate and Master's students from 42 countries. ISS students benefited from our 6-week programme including:
- Lectures by leading experts in their field
- Hands-on work on cutting-edge research topics
- Training in valuable professional skills
Working on their research projects, ISS students received an interdisciplinary education on our overarching theme of Epigenetics & Genome stability of Health, Ageing & Disease.
During the ISS, they acquired excellent practical skills and hands-on training from leading scientists in molecular biology, and got insights into techniques like CRISPR/Cas genome editing, next-generation sequencing (NGS) and modeling of gene networks. They also got integrated in our lively & international scientific community, networking with local PhD students and postdocs at our social events.
