Program
Each week will be dedicated to certain aspects of the above
mentioned topics. The methodology will consist of a series of morning courses, each one
lasting between 4 to 8 hours, with 1:30 hours per session, and problem solving sessions in
the afternoon. This will give the participants the opportunity to try out some of the
techniques presented in the courses.
