Apollo is an international collaborative project between the EUREKA institute and its partner universities with the aim of supporting students to develop the knowledge, skills, and experience that will support a career in the field of translational medicine.
Apollo was founded mid-2014 in Utrecht. It was named after the multifaceted Greek god of medicine. Apollo aims to bring together multifaceted medical students and scholars.
We want our members to be a group of diverse individuals who stand out by means of their personality, work ethic, research experiences and their aim to be a leader in the field of translational medicine.
Apollo is greatly appreciative of the wide support it receives from faculty members at all partner universities.

In close collaboration with the EUREKA Institute for Translational Medicine, the UMC Utrecht, and Science in Transition, we organise an annual summer school on Translational Medicine.
This course is specifically not about learning how to ‘play the game’, but about understanding that there is a game going on, what the rules of the game are and to be able to transcend it.
