During the last few months, our AGePOP ESRs have acquired a brand-new toolbox of transferable skills. For our ESRs, working as PhD students requires both managing a research project and communicating about the (scientific) work they have done.

The AGePOP ESRs interviewed Cordula Stillhart and Christophe Matthys, two of the AGePOP supervisors. Together they explored the origin of the AGePOP network, its unique features and challenges.

On 6-10 February 2023, the AGePOP ESRs will visit Leuven, Belgium, for training on research and transferable skills.

The AGePOP ESRs met up for their first practical training week. The week introduced them to several techniques to investigate the gastrointestinal environment.

On 11-14 July 2022, the AGePOP ESRs will visit KU Leuven, Belgium, for training on research and transferable skills.

On 4-7 May 2022, AGePOP ESRs, supervisors, partner organization representatives and advisory board participated in the first AGePOP week in Greifswald, Germany. This four-day meeting reinforced strong collaborations, fruitful discussion and a novel outlook.

We are very pleased to finally welcome ESR 8, Fritz Harder. Fritz Harder joined the AGePOP ITN in January 2022, based at KU Leuven in Belgium.

With the previously introduced ESRs already fully engaged in their research projects, we are pleased to announce that five additional ESRs have begun their research. Let’s take a look at who they are and what they intend to investigate.

The impact of advanced age and age-related diseases on drug absorption is little researched. Make a difference by joining the AGePOP network as an Early Stage Researcher!
