Research Academy

The Osteology Foundation together with leading experts in oral tissue regeneration created the Osteology Research Academy as continuing education offering to early-career clinicians and researchers. Our Research Academy courses are designed to improve research skills and build a strong scientific network. Participants are enabled to directly apply the acquired knowledge to their projects at their home institutions.

Over the years, hundreds of researchers from all over the world have benefited from these educational opportunities. Osteology Research Academy Grants are also awarded annually, allowing selected recipients to attend free of charge a Research Academy of choice .
