The DZPG Academy is the central platform for further education and training, career and junior staff development and interdisciplinary networking. It is also involved in public relations work and publishes a podcast.
In the future, the DZPG Academy will offer a wide range of online-based information, training content, mentoring programs and career development modules. It bundles initiatives and gives scientists in early career phases (early career scientists) the opportunity to complete short-term lab visits in the entire network. In addition, the aim is to network various players within the DZPG and to promote expertise and exchange from different disciplines. The Academy is aimed at researchers, clinicians, patients, and their families. It is managed by an editorial and steering group and aims to expand its activities to different locations. In the start-up phase of the DZPG, work will focus on establishing the technical and content-related structures, with an emphasis on "early detection, treatment, and prevention".
