Please note that courses places are limited and that there is very often a waiting list of people who would like to participate. Courses are offered for free to PhD students, but they do not come as a gift to the Ph.D. School WES and the university.

Therefore, registered participants have to assist to the entire courses (not just a part of it), and registered participants who:

• cancel their participation after the registration deadline or
• less than 15 days before the start of a course (if differs from cancellation deadline) or
• do not show up

will have to pay part of the costs for the course or an administrative fee (CHF 50-400 depending on the course).

Please, carefully check the participation, registration and cancellation conditions listed at the bottom of the course description page prior to registering to a course or workshop.

If you have an emergency that prevents you from participating at a course you have registered for, please contact the PhD school coordinator as soon as possible.

• Contact the PhD school coordinator

The courses are open for external PhD students which have however to pay a course fee that reflects the effective costs per participant. The students participating in the PhD school also have the possibility to follow courses elsewhere.
