10 PhD students and postdocs working in CiM labs will participate in the 9th Mouse Imaging Academy (MIA) through a scholarship by the Cluster of Excellence. The annual five-day intensive training at the University of Münster provides an introduction into a broad spectrum of dedicated imaging technologies.

The brown-bag lunch of the Cells-in-Motion Cluster of Excellence is an open network forum for young researchers by young researchers. People present their work to an interdisciplinary audience in a friendly atmosphere. On Thursdays 12:00 to 13:00 at the University Hospital Münster (Ebene 05 Ost, Konferenzraum 403).

International guests as well as scientists from the Cells-in-Motion Cluster of Excellence and the biomedical Collaborative Research Centres of the University of Münster present their most recent scientific advances in basic and translational research. On Mondays from 5:00pm to 6:30pm at the lecture hall of the Institute of Physiological Chemistry and Pathobiochemistry, Münster.

The Careers in Motion Centre offers skills workshops to junior scientists working in CiM labs. Workshops of the CiM Academy or the CiM Gender Committee focus on a variety of subjects like project management and networking.

The tour of the exhibition “Inner Worlds – Cells in Motion from Micro to Macro” has, for the time being, ended. But in case you missed it, you can view the impressive images here on the website. And indeed, you can also see pictures from the CiM exhibition “Images and Imaging” which took place in 2011.
