VII International School of Pure and Applied Biophysics
27-31 January 2003, Palazzo Loredan, Venice (Italy)
Scientific Committee
Giovanni Felice Azzone (Padova), Giovanni Giacometti (Padova)
Fabio Mammano (Padova), Anna Menini (Trieste), Carlo Musio (Napoli), Giorgio Rispoli (Ferrara)
Director of the School
Giorgio M. Giacometti (gcometti@bio.unipd.it)
With the financial support of the Italian National Council of Researches (CNR)
Aim of the school
The School, in its seventh year of activity, is promoted by the SIBPA (Italian Society for Pure and Applied Biophysics) and IVSLA (Venetian Institute for Sciences, Literature and Arts, Venice, Italy).The School promotes deepening of biophysical topics selected in the area of contemporary research. The selected subjects will draw young researcher's attention on themes of frontier research which are considered of relevant scientific and educational impact.
The School will be held in the magnificent Palazzo Loredan, in the historical centre of Venice, seat of the Istituto di Scienze Lettere ed Arti.
Application
The number of student admitted is restricted to 30. The participation is free and lodging facility is offered by the school organization. Applications must be submitted on line by the application form available in the School Web site (http://www.bio.unipd.it/sibpa/scuola2003.html).
The deadline for the submission is January 7, 2003.
Applicants are admitted to the school by the Scientific Committee based on the information provided on the application form (short curriculum).
The results of the selection will be communicated by e-mail within January 14, 2003.
Applications are encouraged from all young scientists (PhD students and post doctorals) interested in the topics of the school.
