The secluded space outside the university was chosen to enhance exchange on the current status of the projects's work programs, discussion on developments and necessary changes in projects and successful developments on the path to therapies.
Three international experts were invited, Prof. Claus Lamm, University of Vienna, Prof. Luda Diatchenko, McGill University, Canada, and Dr. Sara Jager, University of Copenhagen, allowing young ResolvePAIN researchers to exchange scientific progress and new technologies in the field of pain research. In addition to lectures given by the international experts and the principal investigators of the Clinical Research Unit ResolvePAIN, four project-specific workshops, two poster sessions and a novel form of communication - a science slam - also took place during the retreat, giving the young researchers, medical researchers in the GSLS and Clinician Scientists in the IZKF in the pain medicine track the opportunity to discuss and present their work.
