If we wish to bring basic and applied lung research in the Netherlands to a higher level, we need the most talented young researchers. To attract them and to ensure they can develop themselves optimally, we need high-level training and support to young researchers.

Our goal
Formulating a plan for nationwide training and support of young researchers.
That’s how we work
We focus on three target groups: students, PhD students and researchers who have recently gained their doctorates. For each of these groups we are working on a specific plan that focuses on the needs of each particular group.
