The EXPERT PROGRAM is for people who already have a scientific background and experience, but are unable or unwilling to participate in a 3-year PHD PROGRAM due to time constraints. During the 1-year extensive program they can learn all the methodologies and then put them to use in their own research facilities when they return home. Scientists will have the opportunity to write their own first-authored articles. We offer help in learning the methodologies and provide statistical support.
Regular group meetings will be held to report on progress. Good communication skills in English are required. Those participating in Expert program will follow Year 1 at the PHD PROGRAM schedule.
