BRIDGE - Translational Excellence Programme
Upon completing the course, participants should be able to:
Knowledge
- Discuss principles of research data management and data management plans.
- Explain suitability of different experimental model systems, and how they can be used in translational research.
- Determine current practices on how pharmaceutical industry use experimental model system in translational research.
Skills
- Prepare a draft of the participant’s research data management plan.
- Assess which model system would be optimal for their research.
Competences
- Prepare a research data management plan that complies with requirements by funding agencies and other stakeholders.

Lectures will be given by specialists in the field from both
academia and the industry.
The course will end with an evaluation where participants must
reflect on course learning outcomes and give feedback for course
development.
Course literature will be published on Absalon.
