International Summer School Introduction

As we embrace the dawn of the 21st century, the significance of life sciences has never been more pronounced. The new era has seen constant progress in life sciences, and its relevance has been increasingly emphasized as the engine of economic and social progress.

This year's Summer School, themed "AI-Driven Innovation in Life Sciences", focuses on core disciplines such as genetics, oncology, RNA biology, and immunology, while integrating cutting-edge advancements in AI and big data. The international program features two specialized course modules: Genetics & Developmental Biology, and Evolutionary& Computational Biology.

The international summer school will be held at the picturesque Jiangwan campus of Fudan University from July 27 to August 10. It is hosted by Fudan University, organized by the School of Life Sciences,，State Key Laboratory of Genetics and Development of Complex Phenotypes and National Advanced Talent Student Training Center in Biology. It will provide a world-class learning environment for  outstanding students , with a focus on globalization, new frontiers, and interdisciplinary integration and collaboration. Over 20 internationally renowned scholars—leaders in their fields with extensive teaching experience—have been invited to teach. The summer school will select and invite 120 outstanding students from applicants worldwide. The course will be taught in English, covering the most up-to-date and popular topics in each field. There will be oral and poster presentations and networking during the course and top students will be awarded.

In addition, participants will have the opportunity to foster academic connections and deepen their understanding of the cultural landscape through the summer school's city tours, cultural excursions, and a variety of extracurricular activities, such as visits to high-tech biological enterprises, the Shanghai Natural History Museum, the iconic Nanjing Road Walkway, the Bund, the enchanting ancient town of Qibao and other exciting destinations.

We hope you will join us at the Fudan International Summer School of Life Sciences this year. Spend your summer here at the cutting edge of life science, learning from world-renowned researchers and making academic friends who will be lifelong mentors and collaborators.
