cohesive, tight-knit group, and so provide support, networking and
scientific advice to each other long after the course is over. These
bonds are extremely important for building successful scientific
careers, and so we make every effort to ensure that they are formed
early and strengthened throughout the course.

| Guidelines |
| General Guidelines for IBRO Schools |
|
| The rapid growth and importance of the Schools programme, as well as the fact that IBRO increasingly works in partnership with other organizations to fund and staff the Schools, requires that IBRO clarify the policies and procedures that guide this programme. The intent is to help to ensure that IBRO Schools, however else they may differ from one another, play their role in the training of students and the building of science. |
