Forum Scientium is a graduate school and a network with PhD students and postdocs from the Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences, and from the Faculty of Science & Engineering. The research areas covered are broadly defined as life science and its technologies. Participating PhD students, postdocs and PIs typically have a need for collaboration with other groups within at least two of the three main areas: medicine, physics and technology, and chemistry and biology.
