To participate, students must register for the number of months their rotation will last, with the following course codes:

• BIO 699 (n) = first month

  • Their thesis supervisor
  • The host laboratory PI
  • The doctoral program director
  Training rotations must take place within the first year of doctoral studies and can last 1-3 months, with a maximum of 3 months in total. 30 hours/month of technical training is equivalent to 1 ECTS. At the end of the rotation, students must give a short oral presentation on what they learned and its application to their thesis project, in front of the host lab professor and their thesis director.

This form is returned to the program administrator for credit to be awarded.
