Virtual school registration
This is the registration page for the virtual edition of the RED Training School (June 16th – 19th). This online Training School will feature recorded lectures from the current year’s in-person RED event. Each streamed lecture will be followed by a live Q&A session with the speaker. Throughout the week, attendees will have the chance to network with students from all around the world, connect with the lecturers, present their PhD topics (optional), and share and discuss research across disciplines. All lectures will be conducted in English.
Once your registration has been validated, you will get the login to access the interface for this virtual school.
Participants who watch the whole lecture series and succeed in short quizzes about it will receive a certificate of attendance. Live animations and Q&A sessions will be organized at CEST (UTC + 2), but you can watch the lectures and replays of the Q&A session at your convenience in your time zone.
Registrations are open until June 9th, 1 PM CEST (UTC +2).

Sijbren Otto received his M.Sc. and Ph.D.degrees cum laude from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. He worked on physical organic chemistry with Prof. Jan B. F. N. Engberts. In 1998 he moved to the United States for a year as a postdoctoral researcher to work with Prof. Steven L. Regen at Lehigh University investigating synthetic systems mediating ion transport through lipid bilayers. In 1999 he received a Marie Curie Fellowship and moved to the University of Cambridge, UK, where he worked for two years with Prof. Jeremy K. M. Sanders on dynamic combinatorial libraries. Sijbren started his independent research career in 2001 as a Royal Society University Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge in the UK and moved to the University of Groningen in 2009 where he is currently Full Professor. Sijbren was awarded ERC Starting, Advanced and Synergy grants and a VICI grant from NWO in the Netherlands. He co-founded the series of Gordon conferences on Systems Chemistry and chaired COST Action CM1304 on the subject of Systems Chemistry, uniting more than 95 European research groups. He is currently coordinator of the DarChemDN Marie Curie Doctoral Training Network on the topic of Darwinian Chemistry.
