International Summer Project School in and Neurotechnology

Dates: July 22 - August 9, 2019 Fees: 1300 USD* ECTS: 4 Deadlines: April 2, 2019 for Non-European citizens, May 15, 2019 for European citizens

The human is one of the most complex objects in the universe. Scientists, doctors, and great artists tried to unravel the most mysterious human organ, to know the functioning of the brain and its connection with the psyche. Currently, neuroscience is developing more and more intensively, assimilating the latest developments from various fields of scientific knowledge: genetics, mathematics, bioengineering, psychology, etc. However, there is still quite a lot of unknown in this field of science that attracts the brightest of our age.
