VU Faculty of Philosophy organizes European Health, Ageing and Retirement Survey data analysis training series. Alas, it will be held in Lithuanian only. European Study on Health, Ageing and Retirement is coordinated in Lithuania by researchers from the Institute of Psychology at Vilnius University.
The Survey on Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) is a longitudinal survey of older people (aged 50+) in 28 European countries and Israel. In Lithuania, as in all participating countries, around 50 interviewers interview around 2,000 people every second year. The survey assesses physical and mental health, economic and social employment, income, wealth, time allocation to various activities, life satisfaction and many other areas of life. The results of the study are not only for research purposes, but can also help us to understand the impact of policy decisions and to make the best decisions for the future.
The data from the study is available free of charge to the research community and can be useful for researchers in various fields (sociology, economics, psychology, public health, social work and social policy, etc.).
Should you be interested in the study and its data, please contact directly:

2022 January 20-21 Doctoral students and postdocs in the field of life sciences are invited to attend an event on career opportunities after completing their doctoral studies. The event is organized by the Alliance4Life Alliance, which is dedicated to the life sciences and is funded by the European Commission's Horizon Program (https://alliance4life.ceitec.cz/).
Vilnius University also belongs to the Alliance4Life.
The first part of the event will focus on Career after PhD success stories and a presentation on corporate life sciences. The second is a moderated panel discussion on the specifics of communicating life sciences results and possible career dynamics, presenting funding opportunities for young researchers.
Organizers about the event: "PhD students and postdoctoral researchers from more than eleven European countries will have a unique chance to get together, learn, network, explore interesting career possibilities and funding options. Alliance4Life is organizing Early Stage Researcher´s Retreat that will connect twelve leading Central and Eastern European life science universities and research institutes from eleven countries in an online interactive event that will take place on 20 and 21 January 2022. Early stage researchers will interact for two days with each other, as well as with biotechnology industry representatives and other experts. The event is open also to researchers from institutes that are not members in the Alliance4Life! Don´t miss this unique opportunity to make new connections with likeminded people and explore attractive career options."

It is a pleasure to again invite PhD- and other students (or post docs) to the Nordic-Baltic School of Neutron Scattering, co-arranged by NNSP and SwedNess.
The course gives 4 ECTS points and is meant as an introduction to the technique where no prerequisites are needed.
Unfortunately, this year the event will take place virtually and will be held over 13 work days: 20 October to 5 November, with optional Math/Physics catch-up on 14+15 October. We have a series of international experts and previous students from the course presenting their insight knowledge and a dedicated team to arrange e-learning to follow up on the presentations.
In addition, there will be a note set covering (mostly) all of basic neutron scattering techniques.
Registration is mandatory, both for SwedNess students and for students enrolled in a university in the Nordic/Baltic countries.Deadline for registration is 30 September 2021.
For international students, we reserve the rights to limit the number of participants, due to the load on the e-learning system. The school is free for all.

EMBO Practical Course
Biomolecular interaction analysis 2021: From molecules to cells | 25-29 October | ONLINE
The practical course Biomolecular interaction analysis: from molecules to cells, which has run every other year in Porto since 2012, has its 5th edition from October 25 until October 29, 2021, at i3S.
This practical course aims at a multidisciplinary approach to the study of molecular interactions from and in biological systems, integrating biochemical/biophysical methodologies with live microscopy techniques.
The course will cover a range of methods used in the kinetics and thermodynamics characterization of binding events, such as:
• Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC)
• Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR)
• Microscale Thermophoresis (MST)
• Electrically Switchable nanolevers (switchSENSE)
The bridge to in vivo will be crossed with the introduction of advanced light microscopy techniques for the live cell imaging of protein-protein interactions by:
• Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) and
• Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM)
to study the dynamic interactions of proteins within the living cell.
In this new online format the course will include pre-recorded talks/tutorials made available before the course including introduction to the technologies, equipment and best practices. Practical sessions will focus on sample preparation, experimental design and execution and various data analysis workflows.

BioImage Analysis for High Content Screening
25-28 May 2021 | ONLINE COURSE
i3S - Instituto de Investigação e Inovação em Saúde, Universidade do Porto
High Content Screening generates a massive amount of image-based data in the biosciences field. Images contain diverse and valuable quantifiable data, however, many researchers lack the knowledge to extract those data in a practical, fast and repetitive way. Fundamentally practical, in this modular course, participants will get acquainted with several open-source image analysis software (ImageJ/Fiji, ilastik, CellProfiler, CellProfiler Analyst, Cytoscape and IDEAS®) designed to deal with large amounts of images. Experimental data will be used as datasets for image segmentation and quantification.
This course is organized in modules. Therefore, participants are free to choose the image analysis tools more convenient to their own work.
Target Audience: PhD students and junior and senior researchers
Course Contents:
- High content image analysis
- Image segmentation and quantification
- Batch analysis
- Open-source image analysis software
Course Organizers: André Maia and María Gómez Lázaro
