Research assignment:

At the start of the summerschool we will introduce several research topics to be addressed in small groups. How can we prevent osteoporosis, what is the benefit of exercise in injury prevention and what is the optimal strategy for rehabilitation after major surgery, just to name a few. We ask you to write a research proposal and present your work in a closing scientific seminar. May the best group win!
