Lively interactions between students and instructors are important to make the course a success. Teachers and speakers are here to pass on to you some of their excitement about microbiology, and they will attempt to teach you why they hunt for, tame and study microbes. They encourage you to fully exploit the contents which are offered by the course. The tight schedule over the four weeks will give you ample opportunities to do it. Please use the e-mail addresses given below if you have questions related to your project or to the course.

Familiarity with the English language (reading, writing and listening skills) is a prerequisite sincewe w ill use the English version of the book by Madigan, M.T., J.M. Martinko and J. Parker: "Brock - Biology of Microorganisms", 9th Edition, BBOM, International Edition, Prentice Hall, 1999).

 

If the participants agree, the course will be taught in English. All lectures, seminars and the minisymposium will be held in English and the research reports will also be written in English.
