Training Schools are integral educational activities of EU-COST-Actions. As with the first training school of the Building an open European Network on OsteoArthritis research” (NetwOArk) CA21110, we, organizers, are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to host this forum where enlightening experiences, exciting innovations and provocative ideas for new approaches will all be batted around with our osteoarthritis patients.
The training school (acets2023.istinye.edu.tr) will feature lecturers and panels as well as hands-on laboratory practice. The main aim of this training school is to share cutting-edge research with our patients and clinicians who are in the osteoarthritis field.
Along with the scientific aspect, it is our desire to take this opportunity to receive feed-back form the patient perspective. The intense program will introduce new research methods that influences osteoarthritis treatment.
With our best regards,
