SCIENTIFIC AND DIDACTIC ORGANIZATION

The school is organised in three parts called i) Theory, ii) Practice and iii) Exchange

• i) Theory: 4 full mornings with 4 hours/day of lectures (16 hours)
• ii) Practice: a series of 30 minutes talks from CLPU team related to diagnostics and targetry techniques and two afternoon of laboratory training.
• iii) Exchange: 2 Poster sections with previous short presentation of the topics and relative final discussion.
  
  One visit of the CLPU and one visit of the City will be organized.
