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 Functional Genomics Center Zurich (University
and ETH Zürich). The locale is the Natural Sciences (NO) building
of the ETH Zentrum. The ETH 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 free of charge to all academic participants and 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
academic institutions.
Location, housing and transportation
The course will be held in room C2 (level C, room 2) and

Course staff
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.
