Tentative programme

Please note: detailed information will be provided shortly after the course instructors have been selected, according to their specialisations.

Expertise upon completion

Upon completion, this project-based summer school will allow participants to:

› Better understand basic experimental approaches in neuroscience research
› Directly perform the experiments
› Strengthen their international scientific network

A certificate of participation will be awarded to students upon completion of the course.
