A master's program in Cancer Biology across the Coimbra Group's European network

The Life Science Group of the Coimbra Group Network (CLSG) coordinates a network of Master's programs in Cancer Biology to enhance the excellence and competitiveness of Master's and PhD programs in the field of life sciences at the European level.


The CLSG offers master's students in cancer biology or a related field the opportunity to develop all or part of their practical training or research project at one of the partner universities participating in the program (see below). Students can also take courses at one of these universities during their practical internship.

General objectives:

  • Develop active networks in the field of cancer research.
  • Share training activities and technologies with the aim of improving the quality and competitiveness of research and training in the field of biological sciences.
  • Teach students an interdisciplinary approach to cancer research, from the fundamental to the clinical level.

The eleven universities of the Coimbra Group participating in this program are:

  • Montpellier (France),
  • Würzburg (Germany),
  • In Cologne (Germany),
  • Turku (Finland),
  • Abo Akademi (Finland),
  • Vilnius (Lithuania),
  • Tartu (Estonia),
  • Coimbra (Portugal),
  • Pavia (Italy),
  • Barcelona (Spain),
  • Salamanca (Spain).
