Osteology Research
Academy courses

Learn from leading experts

The design of a well-defined research protocol and the selection of an appropriate methodological approach can be challenging. However, these are crucial skills to learn for successful and impactful scientific projects.

 

The Osteology Foundation and dental experts created the Osteology Research Academy for continuous education in addressing dental challenges. Our Research Academy courses are designed for early-career clinicians and researchers to improve their research skills and build a strong scientific network. Participants can apply the acquired knowledge to their projects at their home institutions.

Over the years, hundreds of researchers from all over the world have benefited from these educational opportunities. Osteology Research Academy Grants are also awarded annually, allowing selected recipients to attend free of charge an Academy of choice .
