DZD Next
With its unique focus on all aspects of translational research, the German Center for Diabetes Research is dedicated to educating a new generation of internationally competitive researchers and clinicians in the diabetes field. The DZD Training & Education Program for young scientists includes courses on important aspects of translational research.
Courses in management, leadership and communicationoffered by the graduate schools of the DZD partners round off the program.
DZD NEXT Board
The DZD Training & Education Program is supervised by a scientific chair consisting of a representative of each partner institute and an associated partner as well as of the DZD head office: Prof. Dr. Christian Herder (Düsseldorf), Dr. Anja Zeigerer (Munich), Dr. Wenke Jonas (Potsdam), Dr. Uenal Coskun (Dresden), Prof. Dr. Cora Weigert (Tübingen), Dr. Henriette Kirchner (Lübeck) and Dr. Astrid Glaser, Dr. Brigitte Fröhlich and Dr. Leonie Herrmann (all head office).
DZD NEXT Young Talent Program
The DZD NEXT Young Talent Program supports our young scientists within the DZD on their way to scientific independence. Young group leaders can apply with a scientific project every year. The grants are used to finance a postdoc for two years who will work on the project.
DZD NEXT Symposium
 |
Young DZD scientists have the opportunity to present and discuss their work in progress at own DZD NEXT Symposia. These events promoting the exchange of results and ideas take place on a rotational basis at the different partner institutes the day before the DZD Workshop. Here young colleagues meet well-known scientists and learn about departments and infrastructure of all DZD institutes.
DZD Technical Training Courses
Translational diabetes research requires scientists with a solid background in theory and methods. The DZD encompasses a broad spectrum of knowledge in different aspects of diabetes research and adjacent fields, and DZD scientists share their specific expertise with the students. They offer three to five-day training courses covering the theoretical and practical aspects of various special techniques.
DZD Travel Grants
DZD Conference Travel Grant
The DZD sponsors conference attendance as well as short-term visits at collaborating DZD laboratories to enable young researchers to learn special techniques and methods required to realize new network-projects.
DZD Research Travel Grant
Tight international collaborations are mandatory to successful research. The DZD wants to establish new and tighten existing research collaborations with key players in diabetes research. Technology transfer and sharing established methods is very important in this regard. Therefore, the DZD will partly fund short term research stays of young DZD scientists in laboratories abroad.
Graduate Schools of the DZD Partners
Close cooperation with the graduate school programs of the DZD partners ensures that the young scientists receive a wide spectrum of professional training in management, leadership and communication.
