English. Members in the GRK were recrui-
ted from all over the world, with students
coming from the following countries: Europe
(Germany, Spain, Poland, Georgia, Italy,
Romania, Russia, Hungary), Africa (Burkina
Faso, Cameroon, Uganda), Asia (China,
Mongolia, The Philippines, Nepal, Pales-
tine, Israel), America (USA, Canada) and
Australia.
The scientific output was impressive. Until
April 2012, the students published 320 peer
reviewed papers in total, many of these in
the very best journals. Several papers are
not yet submitted, therefore this number
will increase further. All students presented
their work on international conferences.
We are also proud that all alumni of the
program who got attractive positions, many
of them to continue with a scientific career,
and others in the industry or in international
organisations such as the WHO.
