Place: Economicum, LS, Arkadiankatu 7
The symposium (8.-9.3.2018) is open to everyone interested in recent developments in advanced microscopy methods.
REGISTRATION CLOSED!
To obtain credits, students should register via WebOodi using the Enrol-link below.
Presentation (7.3.2018) and attendance on both days of the symposium (8.-9.3.2018) are required for credits (2 cr). During the first day, the students will familiarize themselves with the contents of the symposium through presentations of their own imaging projects or journal club. The exact format and length of the presentation will depend on the participant number. For students outside of University of Helsinki, it is possible to obtain a certificate of attendance.

Description
ILS doctoral program is responsible for the course. The course is elective.
The course requires prior experience in basic techniques.
By the end of the course students will have advanced knowledge to get started with their own imaging projects, and will be able to understand imaging data presented in published papers and seminars.
During doctoral and master’s studies.
3-day symposium covering advanced imaging techniques.
First day will be dedicated for student presentations, where each student will present their own imaging project or give a journal club (articles selected by the symposium speakers). The following two days will be a special symposium with international and domestic speakers.
Full attendance and student presentation will be required for credits (2 ETCS).
