Travel
Travel from the student’s home town to the destination country has to be paid by the participants as well as any trip on
place, in particular from the hotel to the conference room. If a free day is offered to the students for personal visits, all
food expenses will be at their own charge.
ECTS Credits
Candidates may be able to acquire ECTS in accordance with the Bologna Process. ECTS is a system of capitalisation
of transferable credits conceived by the European Union. It is based on mutual recognition between university
programmes of the individual workload achieved by the student to attain the objectives of their programmes.
Students wishing to acquire ECTS credits for their participation in this Summer Session will need to provide additional
work, i.e. :
– Compulsory attendance in all the activities of the Summer School,
– oral test with one of the program lecturers at the end of the session,
– Personal research and writing of a summary of the course to be sent to CIFE according to the rules and in the delay
explained in the ECTS publication.
The student must obtain marks above 10/20 for each of the above mentioned exercises in order to be awarded the ECTS
Credits. If he does not reach this mark, he will only receive a certificate of participation.
In order to plan efficiently the programme of the Summer school, only the students who have specified their interest for
the ECTS Credits on their registration form will be allowed to qualify for this programme. Requests made after the
initial registration will not be taken into account.
