Registration details
The number of participants is limited to 50 with a priority for Master students and PhD students.
Registration fee for all participants is 250 EURO (4 days) including lunches, coffee breaks, dinner, handouts and excursion.

Prior to the summer school we will offer two days of intensive training, giving attendees a chance to improve their skills and extend their knowledge of nanobiotechnology related topics. The Advanced Training Courses (ATC) are organised in combination with the summer school:
ATC-4 - Polymer Microfabrication Technology for Microfluidic Biosensors on Thursday September 7, 2017
ATC-10 - Business Accelerator Model applied to Nanotechnology on Friday September 8, 2017
