Whole transcriptome data analysis
1 - 6 Jun 2025
This course will teach biological researchers how to analyse biological data sets using open-source software. Most of the analysis will be performed with docker4seq and rCASC packages, which were developed to facilitate the use of computing demanding applications in the field of NGS data analysis. Docker4seq and rCASC packages use docker containers that embed demanding computing tasks (e.g. short reads mapping) into isolated containers.
Imaging-based spatial-omics
15 - 20 June 2025
The aim of the course is to provide participants a comprehensive introduction to the various methods of spatial-omics and in particular those of multiplex immunofluorescence and spatial transcriptomics. We want to provide a general overview of the methods and assist researchers choose the right method for their needs.
EPS Course "Applied Statistics for Plant Scientists"
16, 17 and 19 June 2025
Lectures and computer practical’s. The computer practical’s will be based on statistical approaches/question within the plant science research field.
Data visualisation for biology
24 - 26 June 2025
This course will give insights into, and practical experience in, data visualisation for exploring complex and multi-dimensional biological data.
2nd EPS Summerschool "Plant Development"
15 - 17 September 2025
The EPS Summer school “Plant Development” is a three-days programme for enthusiastic PhD students and postdocs with a strong interest in Plant Development. Attendance is restricted to 45 participants. The programme includes presentations of keynote speakers, participants, poter presentations and team assignments. You will also have time to talk to the keynote speakers about career development and networking.
Microbial Physiology and Fermentation Technology
12 - 23 January 2026
The course aims to familiarize participants with the integrated, interdisciplinary approach required in modern biotechnology. Microbial physiologists, metabolic engineers and (bio)process engineers from the faculty staff, together with invited international experts from other universities and industry, will offer a combination of lectures, exercises and demonstration experiments.

 

Postgraduate courses organised by other Graduate Schools

Below, you can find the links to the course information pages of some of the graduate schools that PE&RC frequently co-organises courses with. Please go ahead and browse through their websites as well, to see whether there are any interesting courses organised by these graduate schools.

Links to other places where postgraduate courses are organised

We sometimes also receive suggestions from our members about places where they have found and/or attended interesting and high quality postgraduate courses. We list these suggestions here, just for people to browse through.

Online courses

Particularly for statistical or methodological courses, we see an added value in taking one or more online courses. We are currently not actively organising such courses ourselves, but you are generally referred to places like www.coursera.org for browsing through a very broad range of online courses. If you have doubts about the quality, applicability, or value of a certain online course for your development, we strongly urge you to check this with your supervisory team, but you are also most welcome to consult us for checking this.
