The INSPIRE Summer School was held in Antwerp from 22 to 28 August 2024. It offered an intensive and interactive 5-day program on Cardiovascular Safety Pharmacology and Cardio-Oncology. Built as a multidisciplinary course, the training consisted of theoretical lectures complemented by hands-on sessions in associated technologies. This course is a continuation of the EU-funded collaborative training network in safety pharmacology INSPIRE (www.inspire-safety-pharmacology.eu), which in the past three years has built a training program benefiting from the academic, industrial, and clinical perspectives by exploring the latest technological capabilities to address emerging cardiovascular and cardio-oncology safety concerns.
Reactions from participants
The Summer School was a once in a lifetime experience. It showed me new career options, inspired me for a future academic work, gave me the chance to meet amazing people in an amazing city. Every part of this program was perfectly organised, starting from lectures and going to social activities. The lecturers were very impressive, the topics were innovative, the people were fun, interesting, smart and friendly. I'm looking forward to my next visit in Antwerp University!
