This course is recognized by the authorities (one day continous education).

For persons who are affiliated with UZH and ETHZ: 130.- CHF

For persons from other Universities in Switzerland: 250.- CHF

Please note that we will charge you the full fees in case of a late cancellation of the course (within 3 weeks before start of the course) or in case of absence. It is the responsibility of the participant to inform the organizer of the course about the cancellation before the deadline of 3 weeks before the course to avoid the billing of the course. To charge for cancellations is common practice by other providers, too. The new proceedings for education courses became necessary due to an increasing extent of short term cancellations in training modules.

Insurance is responsibility of each participant.
