Students will be issued with a certificate of  participation upon completion.

Students  will be asked to provide a poster for sessions designed to share  research and stimulate collaboration. This is a great opportunity for  students to present their own work to a group of their peers and experts  in the field.

The summer school will take place in Paris, France at the University of London in Paris (ULIP) from 1st - 5th July 2024.   The fee to attend is £440, payment details will be sent to successful applicants.
