ESO Edinburgh Stroke Research Workshop
A 3-day course to help clinical academics develop a research question for a stroke-related PhD or MD project.
What is the ESO Edinburgh Stroke Research Workshop?
The ESO Edinburgh Stroke Research Workshop (formerly known as the Edinburgh Stroke Winter School) aims to help new or aspiring clinical academics develop answerable research questions.
We will concentrate on the first three steps of developing research project: defining your research question; choosing the best design; and presentation to potential funders and collaborators.
The Workshop is supported by the European Stroke Organisation (ESO).
Dates for the next Workshop
The 11th ESO Edinburgh Stroke Research Workshop will be held on 2nd– 4th September 2024.
What we offer
We are a Europe-wide group of stroke clinicians and researchers who study how to improve understanding of the causes and consequences of stroke, and how better to improve prevention and recovery.
Over the course of 3 days, we will work with you to develop a research question that is new and is feasible for a PhD or MD project.
At the end of the Workshop you will present your research question to a panel of experts.
