We are pleased to announce that PMU is hosting its BIP on Water requirements for health, strategic planning for evidence-based recommendations held at our campus in Salzburg from December 1st to December 7th 2024.
This course introduces students to the contentious question of how much water a person should drink. In addition to providing a broad overview of the field of hydration, which spans many disciplines, the course will teach students methods for aligning studies for causal inference. International and leading scientists from Austria, Croatia, Germany, Singapore, Sweden, the U.K. and U.S. will provide participants with in-depth insights into hydration effects on chronic disease risk factors at the cell, whole-person, and population group levels, and how to distinguish drinking water-specific effects.
No prior knowledge of hydration is required. The course is intended for students with a completed Bachelor degree (B.Sc.; NQR/EQR level 6) in life sciences (e.g. medicine, nursing, pharmacy), public health, epidemiology, statistics, communication, business, or law (health claim). PhD candidates, licensed clinicians, and post docs, who want to deepen their knowledge and experience in hydration-related research and policy are also very welcome.
This course awards 3 ECTS. Students can also apply for Erasmus+ funding at their home institutions for a blended short-term mobility for PhD students. The PMU can also sign an Erasmus+ bilateral agreement if required by the student’s home university. University staff can also apply for an Erasmus+ grant for staff training.
Course language is English. The course will be held at the Paracelsus Medical University, Salzburg, Austria. Salzburg is a highly attractive city and can be reached easily by plane, train, and car.
