e are excited to share that the Epigenetics Community at Helmholtz Munich, in collaboration with Abcam, will once again host the Summer School on Chromatin Biology in Munich, Germany, from 17–29 August 2026.

This unique program brings together 14 outstanding international PhD students for an intensive learning experience. Additionally, in 2026 we are offering two sponsored places (registration fees waived) for students from low or lower-middle income countries.

Our unique program features:

Daily lectures by world-leading experts in epigenetics and chromatin biology
Hands-on training in cutting-edge genome-wide techniques
Interactive discussions on emerging research trends
Networking opportunities to build lasting international collaboration

The previous Summer Schools were a great success, fostering a vibrant exchange of ideas and equipping participants with advanced skills to tackle complex scientific questions in chromatin biology. 2026 promises to be as impactful, providing a unique platform for young scientists to learn, connect, and innovate.

We are looking to host talented students from around the world and are encouraging colleagues to share this opportunity within your networks. Please note that general applications close March 29, 2026 and places for sponsorship on February 27th (to enable time for processing).
