An important part of research education is that PhD candidates and post-docs build networks, challenge themselves through presentations of their own research, and critically evaluate others’ research. I take this opportunity to highlight the two research schools at K2, which serve as important platforms for this. We have the Postgraduate School of Clinical Medical Research and the Bergen Research School in Inflammation (BRSI). Both hold regular meetings where candidates present their data and analyses, and they also organize courses. Both the courses and seminar series provide credits in the PhD program.
BRSI is organized by the Broegelmann Research Lab. The research school offers courses in immunological subjects tailored to doctoral candidates.
The Research School for Clinical Medicine is a collaboration between K1, K2, and Haukeland University Hospital. If you are a PhD/postdoc at K2 and do not regularly receive emails about their courses and seminars, you can contact adrianna.jebrzycka@uib.no to join. The school also hosts an annual poster/presentation competition for posters presented at conferences in the preceding year.

Additionally, the Faculty of Medicine is a partner in several national research schools that may be relevant to the research topics at K2. These schools offer excellent opportunities for courses and broader networking both in Norway and internationally.
- EPINOR – National Research School in population based epidemiology (liten akivitet)
- NORHEART – Norwegian PhD School of Heart Disease
- NORA Norwegian AI Research School
- Digital Life Norway Research School
- MiMa: Microbiology matters — novel approaches to takle future health challenges (starting up this year)
- Norwegian Research School in Global Health for Sustainable Futures (starting up this year)
