The newly founded
"Stockholm Graduate school in biophysics"
is a joint
program between the Karolinska Institute, the Royal Institute of
Technology and Stockholm University. One of the goal is to give the
students in Stockholm the opportunity to take advantage of the
knowledge at each of these universities. Profs
Astrid Gräslund ,
Gunnar von Heijne,
Rudolf Ladenstein,
Rudolf Rigler and
Clas Blomberg
are a few of the
instigators to this program.
The program is run by three graduate deans:
Olle Edholm,
Sofie Björling and
me (Arne Elofsson)
As a part of this program in April 1997 we will organize a
"Winter School in Biophysics" in the Swedish mountain
regions. The theme for the 1997 winter school will be
"Biophysical Aspects of Protein Folding". The 1997 Stockholm
Biophysics will be held in the Swedish mountain regions during
week 14 (April 1-4). There will be time for scientific
discussions as well as for relaxing activities.
We hope that this winter school will give an opportunity to
teach the graduated students, discuss interesting topics as
well as enjoying the outdoor activities of the Swedish
mountains.
