Gruppo UMI - MIVA - PhD winter school 2022

Winter PhD school on Advanced methods for mathematical image analysis

Duration and dates: 32 hours in January/February 2022, see the schedule below.

Teaching language: English.

Organisers: Giunta MIVA.

Structure: course composed of four blocks taught each in an Italian institution (UnInsubria, UniMoRe, UniBo, UniGe). The course will take place in a blended format where, for each block, it will be possible to attend classes “in presence” or by means of online platforms. This is expected to make the course more accessible to a larger audience spread all around Italy.

Registration: https://forms.gle/pcDAiAB9Xm5v5dAu5. The registration is free, but mandatory.

Some travel funding is available for students: if you would like to apply please tick the corresponding box in the form above. Priority will be given to 1st year PhD student. The deadline for funding is December 5th 2021.

This webpage will be frequently updated with more information and details, please check it regularly.
