VRTC in a nutshell
Backed by its research facilities and scientists, VIB offers a range of trainings in the life sciences for all (VIB and non-VIB!) doctoral and postdoctoral researchers. The driving force for taking off now with this open cross-disciplinary training course is that in this 21st Century it is our believe that it is no longer sufficient to stay in your lab and to stick to your discipline(s) of interest to become a topnotch scientist. Rather you have to combine wet-lab activities with professional trainings in some additional scientific and so-called parascientific disciplines, and as such get a multi-disciplinary scholarship.
To secure that the VRTC curriculum creates added value for a broad population of researchers its content is well-balanced and has the flexibility to be personalized. In practice, each individual researcher can select particularly what fits best with its future ambitions, either a research or management career in academia, industry or at government.
VRTC & Doctoral Schools
Since the VRTC initiative comes to life in close collaboration with the Doctoral Schools of the four Flemish partner universities (Ghent University, the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, the University of Antwerp and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel), individual VRTC events are accepted as part of the training in those collaborating Doctoral Schools. The credo for the partnering is simple and clear: no better way to be great in science in such a small area as Flanders as through joining expert skills!
VRTC as part of your curriculum
Keep in mind that if you participate in VRTC trainings as part of your Doctoral School curriculum, you can get:
-
a participation certificate per VRTC training
-
study credits for Doctoral School curriculum
-
a notification on your Doctoral School certificate supplement
