Mitochondria Summer School 2025
When: 19.–23.5.2025
Where: Rokua, Finland, and online
Join us for an immersive week at the Mitochondria Summer School 2025, where leading experts and researchers will explore cutting-edge topics in mitochondrial biology! The summer school program offers an intensive, multi-day
learning experience focused on mitochondrial biology, featuring expert-led sessions on a wide range of key topics.
For whom?
The Summer School will host 30 PhD students from across Europe on-site. The target group includes students in, e.g., cell biology, metabolic diseases, neurobiology, fibrotic disorders, cancer, and pharmacology. On-site
participants will be selected through a selection process.
The call for onsite participation is open!
The application deadline is Sunday, April 6th, 2025.
There is also a remote participation option, including talks by experts. However, you will get the most out of the event and a full learning experience by attending on-site! There is a fee for both types of participation.
More specific info can be found on the event page.

- Mitochondrial DNA (expert:
Howy Jacobs, University of Tampere)
- OXPHOS structure & assembly (expert:
