Journal Club
The VAC4EU Journal Club is a monthly appointment for members of VAC4EU and for its community. Its purpose is to share a common passion and curiosity for vaccine research. The Journal Club is fun! It is not time to speak about our own work or deadlines, but rather a place to share open questions, doubts, and progress in our understanding of interesting topics thanks to the interaction with each other. It is a place where we are not afraid that our questions are too naive.
During the Journal Club, a speaker presents a published paper of his or her choice. The paper may cover any topic related to vaccine research, from methodological issues, to results of relevance, to curious findings. The speaker is free to take the opportunity of the Journal Club to better understand a paper with the help of the critical discussion with the audience: the conversation is highly interactive, open and informal!
To participate in the VAC4EU Journal Club, please subscribe to the mailing list here and you will receive a periodic invitation to register to the next appointment. If you would like to volunteer to speak at the VAC4EU Journal Club, please don’t hesitate to a message to jc@vac4eu.org.
