2nd Course on Immunophenotyping by Flow Cytometry and Multiplexed IHC

This course is intended for PhD students, but there will also be limited spots available for research analysts and post-docs.

The course is designed to gain in depth knowledge on general technical aspects of the different techniques and how the different components and their configuration influence data acquisition. Special emphasis is placed on panel design, scientific applications, and data analysis.

New Peer to Peer Group Coaching - Registration Open!

How does Amsterdam UMC recognize and value academic work?

Many academics experience an overly one-sided emphasis on research performance, resulting in an excessive urge to publish and an even higher workload. Other qualities of academics, such as teaching, impact, leadership and patient care, remain underexposed as a result. But this is changing thanks to the national program Recognition & Rewards which seeks to rebalance the perception of academic work. As an academic employee, you are key to this change.

About to finish your manuscript and to plan the date of your defence?

VU and UvA both organize sessions to prepare you to the defence ceremony.

Reporting & Signaling Doctoral School

In order to contribute to a pleasant and safe PhD working environment, the Doctoral School wants to actively do something with the information we receive from the coaching conversations. For this reason, we drafted a reporting and signaling plan to enable us to signal and help with recurring problems with departments and/or supervisors.
