Admission:
We invite PhD students, as well as Postdocs and 
other young researchers to send us their 
application. Advanced MA students can also be 
considered for admission, based on a written 
statement of their motivation for attending the 
school. Applications will be examined by an 
international scientific committee, which will 
assign them a score. Participants will be 
admitted based on the score up to a maximum of 
20. PhD students will be given precedence. As all 
courses are taught in English, a good knowledge 
of English is a basic requirement.

Application deadline: June 30, 2011

ECTS:
Participation in the Summer School, including 
active participation in the Poster Session and 
attendance of the International Conference, 
stands for 3 ECTS. At the end of the Summer 
School, every participant will receive a 
certificate, which will indicate the amount of awarded ECTS credits.

Fees:
Attendance to the Summer School is free of 
charge. We have reserved single rooms for 
participants at the Collegio Volta for the nights 
from Sunday 18 Sept (arrival) to Sunday 25 Sept 
(departure) at the total price of 350 Euros, 
which also includes lunch at the cafeteria (Mensa 
Fraccaro), one-week pass for public 
transportation, and invitation to all social events featured at the Conference.
