Dear PhD students,
The Pharmacometrics, PKPD and Clinical Pharmacy Research Units at Uppsala
University are happy to invite PhD students from all around the world to the
14th Uppsala Pharmacometrics Summer School (UPSS).
Dates: August 10th-21th, 2026
Place: Uppsala, Sweden
Intended for: PhD students (at the time of the Summer School).
Topics: The first week will focus on covariate model building, the second week
on PKPD modelling of continuous and categorical data in NONMEM.
Program: Lectures, hands-on sessions, student group work, and student
presentations.
Instructors: Mats O. Karlsson, Lena Friberg, Andrew Hooker, Elin Svensson and
colleagues.
Prerequisites:
1) Previous experience with the NONMEM software.
2) Students will be asked to submit an abstract of an analysis problem they are
currently working on or planning to start in the near future.
3) Students will also be required to present a poster based on this abstract.
Group work examples: During each course week, two days will be devoted to
working with real data examples brought by the participants. This has been an
appreciated component, both by the students that have brought the examples and
the other group members who get to expand their hands-on experience. For the
purpose of these exercises, we ask applicants if they have examples with data
that can be used and thus temporarily shared with fellow students in the group.
Fee: Free of charge (transport, accommodation, and food are not included).
Traveling grants: Pharmacometrics Africa has provided traveling grants that can
be applied for by students from African universities. Pharmetheus traveling
grants can be applied for by PhD students enrolled at universities in
developing countries. You can apply for these grants in the summer school
application form (link posted below).
Maximum number of participants: 30
