The first networking training event for CombiDiag‘s fellows took place from October 16th to 17th, 2023 at the UCA premises in Nice. During the two days, the fellows had the opportunity to give an insight into their planned dissertation topics through lectures, as well as to achieve a good multidisciplinary foundation knowledge on research ethics and an introduction to the Researcher Development Framework (Vitae RDF). Additionally, through a tour of the Memory Clinic premises and team building activities, the fellows and the supervisors had the opportunity to get to know each other.

From June 24 to 27, 2024, Firalis hosted at its premises in Huningue/France CombiDiag’s second training event. The summer school provided an opportunity for CombiDiag DCs to present their thesis projects and latest advances in their research. Participants also benefited from lectures delivered by field experts on peripheral biomarkers and their combinatorial use in diagnosing early-stage Alzheimer’s disease. These sessions offered in-depth knowledge and cutting-edge advancements in the field, equipping the DCs with a comprehensive understanding of the latest research trends and methodologies.

Beyond the academic discussions, the Summer School included a tour of the Firalis premises, allowing DCs to gain a deeper understanding of the company's activities, technological capabilities, and ongoing projects.
