Category 1: Basic & advanced course (4 days): Lectures and practical sessions. Cost: CHF 620. Maximum capacity: 60 participants. Category 2: Basic course (2 days): Lectures and practical sessions. Cost: CHF 360. Category 3: Advanced course (2 days): Lectures and practical sessions. Cost: CHF 360. Category 4: Lectures only (all four days): Cost: CHF 360 In order to ensure small group sizes, a maximum of 60 participants will be accepted for the practical sessions on a first-come, first-served basis. Students and staff of UZH and ETH are not charged course fees; however, we do require a small fee to cover catering costs.
