The Master’s programmes of the Graduate School of Life Sciences (GSLS) are generally very disciplinary and prepare our students with very in-depth knowledge of the life sciences fields. There are, however, many stakeholders outside of academia. In order to prepare students for life after education, we have developed the interdisciplinary minor Life Sciences and Society. Together with teachers from the faculties of Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, Humanities and Social Sciences and the University Corporate Offices we will offer students theoretical knowledge about different societal aspects of life sciences. Parallel to this they will work on a Capstone project, a project from an external stakeholder (e.g. RIVM or Sanquin) on a contemporary societal issue that this party is dealing with. During the 6 months programme they will learn hands-on how they can connect research and society and will learn to integrate different perspectives and new knowledge into their work to make it more relevant and
Diversity, Inclusion, Society and connecting life scices to society
