"I enjoyed Munich International Autumn School very much. As PhD student I am always interested in broadening lab skills and hearing about other research which the school provided. It was also very enlightening to observe the clinical aspects of several types of lung disease."

"At the moment I am doing a research year in the labor of Prof. Schmeck, mainly with focus on asthma, COPD and pulmonary infections (legionella, influenza). What I liked most of the Munich International Autumn School is the combination of the lab work and the clinically aspects. Especially the evening lectures were best!"

"I liked the interaction between basic research and clinic, as well as the fruitful discussions with each other."

"The Munich International Autumn School was an excellent experience and a great opportunity to network. All people involved were full of energy, enthusiastic and fun to interact with. The program was interesting, the fact that it involved both research and clinical parts was stimulating for parties engaged in only one of those fields. The events planned in the evening were great and a good and fun way to get people involved in conversation."

"My participation in the Munich International Autumn School was an invaluable experience for me during my postdoctoral training to further my knowledge in respiratory biology and clinical medicine from leading international experts. The combination of didactic training, experiential learning in state-of-the-art experimental techniques, and the opportunity as a bench scientist to enhance my knowledge of the needs and challenges in the clinic was exceptional. The intimate environment produced stimulating discussions with other young and experienced researchers in respiratory medicine and the expertise housed within the CPC and its partner institutions provided a premier training experience."
