RaBBiT1 brings together knowledge from Physics, Chemistry, Biochemistry and Biophysics to set up a unique advanced learning environment. The RaBBiT programme is international in nature — it is built upon a strong collaboration effort with a partnership of well recognized European universities2. Within the programme, students will find experts, from world class research centres, involved in research programmes ranging from the biologic effects of radiation to medical applications or from the fundamental aspects of atom-molecule interactions to molecular characterization of enzyme mechanisms by means of spectroscopic tools. While focused on specific research topics, the programme includes complementary and transferable activities that will support students’ personal and professional development3.

RaBBiT is open to students from all over the world and with different academic backgrounds. Applicants can bring their own scholarships or, depending on availability, apply for financial support under particular conditions4.
