Summer School of Experimental Surgery

Right before the Summer School starts (tomorrow morning), we managed to squeeze two more educational videos in our YouTube channel. This time looking a bit into plastic surgery, more on which you'll learn on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon. Enjoy!

The times are so busy we barely know where our heads are at the moment, but we managed to finish the programme of SSES 2024. Have a look here: http://sses.eu/4/programme

Great news, everyone. In the midst of preparations for this year's Summer School, we managed to squeeze in the traditional Annual Meeting of Cancer Researchers in Javorná.

From May 17 to 19, the meeting of research teams from not only our medical faculty, but also our collaborating partners from the Institute of Experimental Medicine of the Czech Academy of Sciences and the National Institute of Public Health, took place in Javorná for the 13th time. The international meeting was attended by a total of 35 researchers, presenting mostly results of their recent scientific activities. The event was also a working meeting of the investigators of the Chaperon Horizon 2020 project. The programme was divided into two evenings packed with expert lectures, followed by discussion on the subject. Javorná meetings offer an excellent opportunity to discuss new ideas for further collaboration as well as technical and professional issues of current projects. As the nature near the Šumava National Park offers many hiking trails and views, most participants went for a short walk to Pancíř on Saturday morning despite the rainy and muddy conditions. The meeting was a very pleasant inspiration and motivation for further scientific activities and cooperation. :)

Happy new year! Every month, we are getting closer to this year’s Summer School of Experimental Surgery, a unique opportunity to learn surgical abilities with a possibility to do the procedures on the closest model simulating the real-life clinical situations.
Early bird applications are finished now, the regular application round has just been opened with a deadline of January 31st, so do not hesitate to apply here: http://www.sses.eu/109 !

Best wishes for this Holiday Season and the upcoming year from the team of the Summer School of Experimental Surgery!

The 10th Summer School of Experimental Surgery is coming to an end. Even though it's a little sad, we actually want to celebrate. To celebrate the 10 years of meeting new people, of helping them learn surgery so that they can advance in the medical field and help other people. We are proud of having welcomed almost 300 students from 35 countries and working with them regardless of their origin. So long, and see you next time ;)
