Nano-Bio Sensing Summer School



Nano-Bio-Sensing
Summer School, 29 june - 3 July 2009, EPFL Auditorium Polydôme
 
This summer school is partly sponsored by the Centre SI and the MMNS Education and Research unit of the CCMX Competence Centre for Materials Science and Technology. All lectures will take place at EPFL in Auditorium Polydôme.

The Summer School will provide 1 credit for the Doctoral Schools of EDMI (http://phd.epfl.ch/edmi/) and EDEE (http://phd.epfl.ch/edee/). A final written examination will be required to get the credits. The format of the final evaluation will be a 4-pages summary of one lecture of the course evaluated by a proper professors committee by the Summer School.

Poster presentation is kindly recommended to participant. The posters will be presented during the school.
 
Registration fee is 150 CHF and it includes one coffee breaks per day during the week of the summer school. On-line registration is required. Please registrer at the following link : Nano-Bio-Sensing Registration.

As the summer school is part of the EDMI Doctoral Program Courses, the registration is free of charge for the first 15 EDMI doctorates.
