I. The institute will co-host a 3-day online workshop, "Starting Your Own Lab," with EMBO from August 26th to 28th this year. Classes will be held daily in the afternoon (details are in the attached poster and website).

II. This course aims to assist young researchers in establishing independent laboratories. The workshop will be conducted in English and will employ interactive teaching methods. Participants are required to attend all sessions. Priority will be given to newly established lab principal investigators (Junior PIs/Group leaders) within the past 5 years, or those who are in the appointment negotiation stage and about to take over as principal investigators of independent projects. The training is limited to 18 researchers from Taiwanese academic institutions. Applications close on July 20th this year, and admission will be based on a first-come, first-served basis, but the institute reserves the right to final allocation and approval of places.
