Its mission will be to educate young biomedical investigators and to update experienced clinical scientists in study design, biostatistics, clinical trials, pharmacology, bioethics, etc. through lectures, case presentations and practical exercises.
The faculty consists of leading scientists from Europe and the USA. Funding is provided by ESCI and the pharmaceutical industry. Grants will be available for participants from Eastern European countries.
Venue

Proposed schedule, themes and faculty
Lay-out of time-table: for each day, there will be lectures 9-12, lunch break 12-1, lectures 1-4, break 4-4.15 and then master classes 4.15-6.30 for practical examples and discussion.
For the master classes, each participant will choose what master class to attend in each day. First and second choice will be offered and will try to divide participants to equal groups, each of them meeting with one of the speakers of the morning and early afternoon sessions.
Speakers will have available some practical examples to discuss, but participants should be encouraged to bring their own examples and questions for discussion.
A 1-hour multiple choice examination will be given at 6.45-7.45pm at the end of the last day.http://www.esci.eu.com/default.asp?page=courses
