About the School<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Future Rheumatology 2027 aims to bring the latest developments in fundamental and clinical rheumatology and immunology research to doctoral students and early postdocs. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This three day program enables close interactions between trainees and senior faculty at the cutting edge of their field. Attendees will have the opportunity to present talks and posters, and discuss ideas with world leaders, all in the comfort of the German wilderness, and just a short journey from Berlin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology (KIR), University of Oxford, UK, and the German Rheumatology Research Center (DRFZ) share a strong commitment to excellence in rheumatology research and are uniquely positioned to host this summer school. Together with selected external speakers, we bring complementary expertise and aim to cultivate a dynamic environment in which doctoral researchers, postdocs, and faculty can connect, learn from one another, and develop new ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A central aim of the summer school is to foster meaningful exchange between trainees and established researchers. In addition to the scientific programme, participants and faculty will spend time together during meals, social activities, and throughout the venue grounds, creating space for informal discussion, networking, and collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
