DESCRIPTION:Helmholtz Health Core Facility Network Spatial Omics School \n
 Welcome\nWelcome to the application portal for the Helmholtz Health Core F
 acility Network Spatial Omics School (SOS).\nThe Spatial Omics School is d
 esigned for PhD candidates and early-career postdoctoral researchers who w
 ould like to strengthen their theoretical and practical expertise in spati
 al omics. The programme brings together experts in spatial biology\, omics
  technologies\, biomedical imaging\, data science\, and research data mana
 gement.\nPlease note that submitting an application does not guarantee par
 ticipation. Applications will be reviewed by a scientific selection commit
 tee. Once you accept an offered place\, your registration is binding.\nAbo
 ut the Spatial Omics School\nThe Spatial Omics School is a modular trainin
 g programme covering the complete spatial omics workflow: from biological 
 and technological foundations to experimental implementation\, data genera
 tion and analysis\, and finally interpretation and application in biomedic
 al research.\nParticipants will be introduced to key spatial omics technol
 ogies\, experimental design\, sample preparation\, imaging- and omics-base
 d readouts\, and computational approaches for analysing spatially resolved
  datasets. Wet-lab sessions will provide practical insight into selected e
 xperimental steps and demonstrate how sample handling\, assay design\, and
  data generation affect downstream analysis and biological interpretation.
 \nThe programme also addresses data structure\, quality control\, document
 ation\, reproducibility\, and metadata annotation.\nThe teaching format co
 mbines lectures\, expert talks\, wet-lab sessions\, hands-on data analysis
 \, case studies\, interactive discussions\, and community-oriented exchang
 e.\nThe school is organised across three Helmholtz Health Centres:\n\nModu
 le 1 – Helmholtz Munich (HMGU)\, München: Foundations of Spatial Transc
 riptomics and Visium HD Workflows9–12 November 2026\, followed by an onl
 ine session on 27 November 2026\nModule 2 – Deutsches Krebsforschungszen
 trum (DKFZ)\, Heidelberg: Spatial Multiomics\, Data Workflows and Integrat
 ion1–5 February 2027\nModule 3 – Max Delbrück Center (MDC)\, Berlin: 
 Spatial Omics Across Scales26–30 April 2027\n\nParticipants may apply fo
 r one\, two\, or all three modules\, depending on their interests\, prior 
 knowledge\, and training needs. The preliminary programme may still be adj
 usted\, and detailed schedules will be provided before the start of each m
 odule.\nPlease consult the preliminary programme for an overview of the th
 ree modules and their thematic focus.\nApplication and selection process\n
 Applications will be evaluated by a scientific committee.\nThe selection w
 ill be based primarily on the applicant’s motivation\, scientific backgr
 ound\, and the relevance of the selected module or modules to their curren
 t research and training needs.\nRequired application documents\nPlease pre
 pare a motivation letter before starting your application.\nThe motivation
  letter (no more than two A4 pages) should explain why you would like to 
 participate\, how the selected module or modules relate to your research\,
  which skills or knowledge you would like to develop\, and how you intend 
 to apply the training in your future work.\nOnly complete applications sub
 mitted by the deadline can be considered.\nParticipation fee\nThe particip
 ation fee is:\n\n€500 for employees of Helmholtz institutions\n€800 fo
 r external participants\n\nThe fee applies per module and includes:\n\npar
 ticipation in the full course programme\, including theoretical and practi
 cal sessions\nlunch on each course day\none social event during the module
  week.\n\n \nTravel and accommodation are not included in the participati
 on fee. Participants are responsible for organising and paying for their o
 wn travel and accommodation.\nPayment details and applicable deadlines wil
 l be provided to successful applicants.\nApplication deadline: 31. AUGUST 
 2026\nApplications submitted after the deadline may not be considered.\nFu
 rther information\nFollowing the selection process\, successful applicants
  will receive detailed information. \n We are looking forward to your reg
