Basic Clinician Scientist Programme of the Medical Faculty (CASCADE 1.0)
The University Medicine needs Clinician Scientists
The Basic Clinician Scientist Programme (Basic CSP) of the Medical Faculty is a junior researcher program in which physicians during their specialist training are (partially) released from clinical work for scientific research. The goal of this program is to help them start their own research projects that enable them to achieve the previous work and publications that are usually required to successfully attract third-party funding.
