Validation of the Summer Campus 2013

Since 2010 we include a validation in the programme of the Summer Campus to help students to obtain ECTS points at their university from their participation at the Summer Campus. The validation is also part of the integration of the Summer Campus into the UdS Master teaching programme. For 2013 the contribution to the Poster session is acknowledged on the certificate of participation and we plan to use the student’s participation in the working groups as an indicator to validate the Summer Campus.
