ECTS for the Summer SchoolA prospectus was circulated in April outlining the content of the Summer School and the credits associated with it (5 in total). The course has been split into sections and ECTS assigned for each section. This will allow individual sections to be used for ECTS or the entire course as applicable. A signed and stamped certificate will be provided upon completion of the course. Each partner should liaise with the appropriate people at their institute to determine whether or not the course can be used by their ESR for ECTS. If additional reporting or assessment is required by a particular institute, it can be undertaken by the ESR at the discretion of the PI.
