2025 Symposium
In September 2025, scholars from each of the five European Amgen Scholars Programme institutions - LMU, ETH Zurich, Institut Pasteur, Karolinska Institutet and the University of Cambridge - gathered at Clare College for the annual European Symposium.
Scholars had the opportunity to hear from a wide range of speakers, including industry representatives and leading Cambridge academics. They took part in workshops and enjoyed social activities, including a walking tour of Cambridge, punting on the River Cam, and a formal dinner in Clare College's Great Hall.
Each scholar created a poster and presented their project findings at dedicated poster sessions throughout the schedule. The scholars deemed to have produced the best posters per institution were celebrated in a ceremony at the end of the symposium - the winners for 2025 are listed below.
