Aim and content This course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School), and for PhD Students from NorDoc member universities. All other participants must pay the course fee. Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student at a Danish university, you will be placed on the waiting list until enrollment deadline. This also applies to PhD students from NorDoc member universities. After the enrollment deadline, available seats will be allocated to applicants on the waiting list. Learning objectives A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: 1. have insight in up-to-date knowledge about molecular mechanisms behind cardiac arrhythmia 2. demonstrate and discuss own data in front of the renown speakers within the field 3. put their own research project into perspective in the field of cardiac physiology and pathophysiology 4. develop contacts to arrange stays abroad during the PhD period (or network for possible postdoc opportunities 5. have insight into transferable skills in the research perspective (entrepreneurship, digitalization, dissemination). Content The course gives an introduction to the molecular mechanisms behind cardiac arrhythmia and covers recent findings in the field. Leading international scientists will present and discuss molecular and clinical bases of arrhythmogenesis and the regulation of molecular players. The topics span from, biophysics, omics and pharmacology to clinical studies. In addition to being exposed to the hot topics in the field, participants will engage in workshops focusing on entrepreneurship, publishing, digital health and big data in cardiology. Furthermore, the course will include a poster session where PhD students are expected to present their own research. One of the unique features is that the speakers are present during the entire program. The speakers actively reach out to the students, hence PhD students can engage with them not only during the lectures and poster session, but also at “round table sessions” during coffee and lunch breaks. Keywords/topics covered in the course Atrial myopathies – atrial fibrillation Cardio-oncology and arrhythmias Studying arrhythmias – technologies and data analyses It’s complicated- complexity of arrhythmias Participants PhD students or other scientists with basic background and interest in cardiology and molecular disease mechanisms. Participants are expected to read selected review articles as preparation to the sessions. Furthermore, participants are asked to present a poster about their own project. (For beginners, we recommend a poster outlining the overall project plan. Advanced students should present data.) Poster communications offer a unique opportunity to discuss own ideas and data and to network with leading experts in the field. Relevance to graduate programmes The course is relevant to PhD students from the following graduate programmes at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences, UCPH: - Cardiovascular Research - Pharmaceutical Sciences (Drug Research Academy) - Molecular Mechanisms of Disease Language English Form Lectures, discussion, poster presentations, pre-read material.

September 2022 Seats to PhD students from other Danish universities will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and according to the applicable rules. Applications from other participants will be considered after the last day of enrolment. Note: All applicants are asked to submit invoice details in case of no-show, late cancellation or obligation to pay the course fee (typically non-PhD students). If you are a PhD student, your participation in the course must be in agreement with your principal supervisor
