The Pharmacometric Research Group of the Department of Pharmaceutical Biosciences offered the first free summer school in August 2011. Around 30 PhD students from all around the world came to Uppsala and spent 2 weeks learning, discussing and applying modelling techniques for continuous and categorical data and covariate model building. Five students coming from developing countries were offered a travel grant covering their travel and accommodation thanks to a grant from Novartis to UPSS.
Quotes from course evaluation UPSS 2011
“Very good combination of theory and practice!“
“It was very helpful, I have learned a lot. Beside of the lectures most valuable thing was to meet all these great people.”
“The whole course is like a box of tools, which can help me to solve the problems I often have.”
