Selection criteria

Participants have to be advanced PhD students or postdocs.

They will be selected based on scientific excellence, level of experience in microscopy, their letter of motivation and the estimation of the immediate impact this training will have on their current projects and future career perspective.

A further criterion will be their potential to act as multipliers, i.e., participants that will not only learn these techniques to apply them in their individual projects, but who can also train other scientists in their home institutions will be given preference.
