The program includes 2 fundamental lectures (1h each) and 3 short research courses (45 minutes each) per day. Several poster sessions, during which all participants will have the opportunity to present their research (The poster should be in portrait format, max 135 cm x 90 cm (A0 works)), and one public conference will be also organized.
Hands on will be also organized on:
- numerical simulations
- laboratory imaging
- innovative field sensing and monitoring
