Research drives advances in science - this is why the Osteology Foundation is committed to running an intensive course on good scientific practice and research methodology. 26 participants from 12 different countries attended the Core Module in Lucerne this year. The one-week intensive course provided an overview of the planning and running of a study project from A to Z. In classroom sessions with leading experts, such as Niklaus Lang and Reinhard Gruber, case studies and exercises in teams the young researchers learned the Essentialsof Research Methodology, how to plan, conduct, evaluate and publish the results. The participants thereby particularly liked the highly interactive classes and the casual atmosphere. The interaction among the participants as well as the experts was regarded as extremely valuable. They discovered that they have very similar experiences and problems in their research practice despite coming from different countries and cultures from all-over the world, such as Egypt, Brazil, Europe and China. The dates for all up-coming courses can be found on the Osteology Research Academy website. Education Grants are available for participation in the courses. Application is possible online. Deadline: 1 December. I loved the informal atmosphere. The lecturers were engaging and inspiring, and gave me the opportunity to dispel several research doubts I had.
