Professors<\/strong> (this list can change): William J. Burk (Leiden University, The Netherlands), J\u00fcrgen Lerner (University of Konstanz, Germany), Jos\u00e9 Luis Molina, Miranda J. Lubbers  (UAB). <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Fee<\/strong>: 350\u20ac in the Postgraduate School by web. Once accepted in the Summer course payment can be done from the 1th to the 10th of June [Fee<\/span><\/a>] <\/span><\/p>\n

People interest have to send their vitae and their interest or research problem to gr.egoredes@uab.es<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Accommodation<\/strong> can be find in the same University, either as apartment<\/span><\/a>  or in the Hotel Campus<\/span><\/a>. The lunch is provided by the course. We normally have lunch together at 14:00 (a bit late for European or American usages). The best way for getting the UAB from Barcelona is by train with the “Ferrocarils de la Generalitat de Catalunya, \t\t\t FGC<\/span><\/a><\/strong>“, lines S2 and S55.  There is a stop station for the University “Universitat Aut\u00f2noma”. From Catalunya Square (at the Centre of Barcelona) the trip takes about 30 minutes. From the station to “Facultat de Lletres” or to the “Vil\u2022la” (the accomodation facilities) the walk takes about 10 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is another stop station named “Cerdanyola-Universitat” \t\t\tfrom Renfe<\/strong> but it is a bit far from the Campus, so we recommend strongly to take the FGC line instead. <\/span><\/p>\n

(*) The number of hours for each ECTS in the EU are now 25 instead of a flexibe range of 18-25 , so the new number of ECTS for this summer course is 2<\/strong> instead of 3, like in other editions.<\/span><\/p>\n

(**) Thursday 24th June is not a working day in Spain, so participants should work on their presentations on the Libraries or other facilities open in the campus. Professors will be available through phone or email. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
