The total fee, inclusive of board and lodging during the course, is 1,200 Euro for European Community residents and the equivalent in hard currency for the remaining ones. In order to reflect the multi-disciplinary nature of the Course, attendants will be selected on the basis of the scientific discipline, publication record and the correspondence between the current research of the applying scientists and the listed topics. We encourage applicants not to be deterred by the lack of availability of funds from your host institution, as we strive to provide assistance in such cases. Such funding is of course dependant on the success of your application and the funds available to the organizing committee. By tradition three times as many applications as there are places are received. Early applications are therefore recommended.
