Una Europa One Health Summer School 2023, KU Leuven (Belgien)
For doctoral researchers of all disciplines:
Date: 31. Juli – 2. August 2023
Format: interdisciplinary Workshops, tbd., on site (KU Leuven)
Language: Englisch
Deadline: Subsequent applications possible - please contact as soon as possible at: unaeuropa@zedat.fu-berlin.de
Program details: https://www.una-europa.eu/calendar/una-europa-one-health-summer-school-2023-deep-dive-for-doctoral-researchers
Kontext:
One Health works towards the achievement of the UN's sustainable development goals (SDGs) and explores how the health of humans, animals, other organisms and the environment are inextricably linked. As proven by the Covid-19 pandemic, health challenges that stem from the complex interaction between humans, animals, plants and ecosystems call for a review of existing concepts and methods. Tighter collaboration across sectors and disciplines – including life sciences, public health and social sciences – is crucial.
The Una Europa One Health Summer School will bring together students and staff from across our Alliance and beyond to explore these interdisciplinary issues and work towards building solutions together. You will develop your knowledge of One Health and/or Planetary Health by tackling a related global challenge, working with other undergraduate students from European and International universities to develop and pitch an idea.

BSIO Running against Cancer – Charity Run // 23.04.2023
The "Running Against Cancer" event focuses on the concept of "Health & Research", as on the one hand, running itself is a central part of a healthy lifestyle, on the other hand the Berlin School of Integrative Oncology (BSIO) is the organizer of the run and all proceeds go directly to cancer research, which distinguishes this run from other popular runs.
The proceeds will be used to finance projects in cancer research that investigate the basics of cancer development and develop new therapies.

Define and communicate the value of your research
You will learn how to define and communicate the why, how and what of your research, or business idea using frameworks and tools from the entrepreneurial world.
In this workshop, you will get hands-on with core concepts of entrepreneurship, including customer/user centricity, problem-solution fit, value proposition and the (impact) business model.
Defining the impact of your idea starts with why and how it qualifies as a solution for a stakeholder’s problem and adds value to society and the environment.
You will learn why storytelling is a necessity for first meetings with stakeholders outside your immediate research field (e.g. Translational research coordinators, Technology Transfer Offices, Incubators, Accelerators, Grant managers at Research funding bodies).
The methods and structure provided in the workshop will build your confidence to prepare and develop your concepts/presentations.
You will also be introduced to the type of questions you should expect in first (business) meetings.
After the event, you have the opportunity to use the knowledge and tools to develop your own research/business value proposition. You will be invited to submit your work for feedback and to continue the conversation with experts at p2i partners.
This event is suitable for researchers from any discipline looking to develop transferable skills to pursue careers in and outside academia, including starting a venture.
At some point you will have to convince someone either to fund your research, employ you or fund your start up – prepare yourself.
