The XIVth Summer School of Myology was held at the Institute of Myology from June 20th to June 28th 2011.

The XIV Summer School hosted 50 students. No fewer than 33 nationalities were represented this year including for the Europeans: 1 Italian, 1 Dutch, 1 Spanish, 1 Portuguese, 5 Germans, 3 British, 1 Irish and 2 Greek; for Central Europe: 2 Moldovans and 2 Hungarians; for Latin America: 5 Brazilians, 1 Colombian, 1 Argentinean, 1 Mexican and 1 Cuban; also for North Africa: 1 Tunisian, 1 Moroccan and 1 Algerian as well as 2 Iranians; 1 student from Saudi Arabia. Of note is the involvement of a student from Georgia, 2 Russians, 1 Chinese, 1 Indian and 1 Australian.

As last year, on the afternoon of Friday, June 24 the students partook in the AFM’s Family Days at the Parc Floral in Vincennes, a moment always well appreciated.

For the second year the Summer School is in partnership with Berlin (Charité University), with the principal support of the AFM through the Institute, as part of the MyoGRAD initiative where courses were held from June 13th to 17th in Berlin, just before the summer school in Paris. Seven students including 5 Germans, 1 Austrian and 1 Polish followed the two courses in the same year.
