- Introduction to the journal landscape
- Open Access publishing
- Use of AI in the writing process
- Understanding the review and publishing process

The winter school is aimed only at students enrolled in the PhD program in Biomedical Engineering and PPHS. Registration is free and includes transportation, course fees, accommodation in shared rooms, catering, and a social event.
As we have a limited number of places, will give priority access to people who were on the waiting list from the summer school and to DBE students who have never participated in a summer school and who are in their final stage of doctoral studies (since participation in at least one summer school is mandatory before graduation).
In order to have a fair balance between DBE and PPHS students, we will accept registrations for two weeks after opening and then draw participants from both groups. If there are still places available after these two weeks, you will be informed and we will continue to accept registrations.
Please note that registration to the Winter School commits the participant to be present for the entire duration of the stay and to participate in all courses.
