Amgen Scholars Programme

Two scholars talk while walking into the Gillespie centre.

The Amgen European Symposium takes place at the end of the summer programme. All scholars from the five different European Amgen Scholars Programme institutions attend the symposium: LMU, ETH Zurich, Institut Pasteur, Karolinska Institutet and University of Cambridge. 

The event comprises talks from Cambridge academics, industry speakers and Amgen Scholars Programme alumni. A signature element of the symposium schedule are the poster sessions - each institution's scholars will present their posters and share their summer projects with the other scholars. All meals are provided, including a formal dinner.

Amgen Scholars Programme

The University of Cambridge is delighted to continue to participate in the Amgen Scholars Programme and to welcome scholars from universities across Europe.

Amgen Scholars at the University of Cambridge will have the opportunity to work alongside our experienced faculty members, including some of the world's top academic scientists. They will gain hands-on laboratory experience, and actively contribute to the advancement of science. We hope that the experience of undertaking research in one of the world's foremost Universities will enthuse our Scholars about a career in scientific research.

We would like to acknowledge the support of the Amgen Foundation.
