Practical organisation
The course is held in a one-week session, and requires full-time attendance
during this week. Lodgings and meals are organized for students unable
to commute from their places of residence.
The course is organized at the University of Bern. The locale is the
Zellbiologisches Zentrum of the University of Bern. The Zellbiologisches
Zentrum can be conveniently reached by public transportation (see below).
Sessions runs from 9:00 to 18:00 approximately, with a lunch break.
As a general rule, each half-day consist of a theoretical introduction
of 90-120min, while the rest is spent doing practical exercises under
the supervision of the course staff.
The course is supported by the Swiss
Committee for Molecular Biology. We have currently no funding to
give support to the participants, but we might offer partial reimbursement
of travel
expenses to students from the Swiss Universities or other Swiss
academic institutions.
The registration fee for academics is 100 CHF.

Technical aspects
The number of participants is limited by the number of assistants and
by the number of workstations available in the classroom. No proprietary
software is used, only a web browser is required. Every effort is made
to ensure that the skills acquired during the course can be used at
any academic site connected to the Internet.
