FIRST MIRACLE NETWORK MEETING - Kick-off Meeting and Training School A

We are delighted to announce that the two-day kick-off meeting of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions MIRACLE DN took place in Amsterdam at the beautiful and sustainable O|2 Labgebouw, VU (the Netherlands), on September 22nd and 23rd, 2024.

The meeting brought together project partners, doctoral candidates (DCs), and invited lecturers to set the stage for the next phase of research into inflammatory processes in cardiometabolic diseases. The program included an overview of the first eight months of the MIRACLE Programme, introductions to the participating institutions and DC projects, and insightful lectures from leading researchers. The Project Management Team discussed the MIRACLE training programme, managerial and financial aspects in the context of EU-MSCA networks and the recruitment strategy adopted within MIRACLE.

The week continued with three additional days of Training School A at Amsterdam UMC, from September 25th to 27th, for the 9 recruited DC students. The program focused on research skills, featuring engaging research talks on cardiovascular genomics, disease mapping, the role of macrophages in cardiovascular events, and computational modelling. It also included bioinformatics training, programming in R, immunology applications, and FAIR Data Management. The Training School A also covered transferable skills, including discussions on how to succeed in a PhD, along with practical modules designed to enhance self-awareness and help participants identify their preferred communication styles in different situations, fostering growth and understanding. The Business Model YOU introduced a strategic approach for personal and career development, guiding students to align their skills, values, and goals, sustainability in research, and gender diversity in research.

The participants’ enthusiasm and active plenary participation over the entire week made this event truly memorable and inspiring. We look forward to the continued success of the MIRACLE project and the exciting discoveries ahead.
