Advanced study courses feature oceans, climate, and environment
19 January 1999 - 19 January 1999
A number of advanced study courses, offering graduate or post-graduate students an opportunity to gain further knowledge from lectures and presentations by leading research scientists, will begin from May of this year. The courses will deal with important research issues related to ongoing European Union research programmes, and are run by the European Commission, Directorate General XII, as part of the EU research programme.
Each course will be residential, lasting for two to three weeks. The following courses are currently scheduled to run in 1999:
