Courses » Short Courses




A variety of Short Courses will be offered on Sunday, 23 June from 09:00 - 16:30 covering the four topics of Machine Learning, Electrical Bio-Interfaces, Flexible IoT and Lab/Organ on Chip.

Each half-day short course will consist of 3 hours of lectures. Fee includes entrance to one short course, one copy of the course notebook, and coffee breaks. The attendees must choose the course(s) or lectures they would like to attend at the time of registration as there will be no in and out privileges and material will only be prepared for those who sign up for the Sunday Short Course. Early registration is encouraged as seating is limited and registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.

All Short Courses will be held at the Estrel Berlin.
