Main themes
The training consists in a 3- or 4-month placement in a research laboratory preferably located outside the UCL and possibly in a foreign institution/organisation. It is the subject of an original piece of research work to be conducted in the scientific field of competence in the host institution/organisation
Aims
The research specialisation training aims at providing the student with deepened experience in molecular and cell biology research, and to exert his/her knowledge, technical skills and communication facilities in a new and high-quality scientific environment. More specifically, during the training period, the student will be asked to: o Get acquainted with the host environment o Document him/herself on the subject of his/her research project o Become aware of short- and long-term goals of his/her project o Develop his/her curiosity and interest for scientific matters o Develop his/her sociability and ability to communicate o Contribute to the experimental design of his/her research work o Execute his/her work programme with the help and advices of his/her mentor, while developing his/her own autonomy and creativity o Critically analyse and interpret his/her results o Write a synthetic report on the scientific achievements and conclusions the he/she obtained from his/her contribution
