Reporting ON A °ÄÃÅÕý°æ´óÈ«Ãâ·Ñ×ÊÁÏ ADVANCED COurse

We aim to keep the level of Advanced Courses administration required by °ÄÃÅÕý°æ´óÈ«Ãâ·Ñ×ÊÁÏ as low as possible, in order to let Course Organizers focus on arranging the scientific content and optimal conditions for the event. Simple scientific, financial and delegate reports prepared as pdfs or Excel files are required to be uploaded to our through your course account after the event for monitoring of effective and proper use of °ÄÃÅÕý°æ´óÈ«Ãâ·Ñ×ÊÁÏ funds and to help with continual improvements of  the °ÄÃÅÕý°æ´óÈ«Ãâ·Ñ×ÊÁÏ Advanced Courses programme.
