The school will be organized in three sections:

The last two sections will each include a practical session.

Most of the costs (accommodation, catering, organization and lectures) will be covered from RINGO and ICOS Finland and ICOS ERIC funds. Participants will have to arrange their own travel to/from Helsinki, Finland.

The school is mainly oriented to PhD students, but a number of PostDocs and master students preparing to start a Doctorate will be accepted. We especially encourage students from ICOS non-member European states to apply, but application is open to other applicants as well.

The scope of the Summer School is of course closely related to the (European) research infrastructure ICOS and the RINGO project. Completion of this Summer School is foreseen to deliver you 7 ECTS credit points (exact number might change).
