Early applications: 15 April 2018

Final applications deadline: 15 May 2018

The Summer Course on Mood aims at an in-depth analysis of the latest developments in the field of anxious pathology, including phenomena that are related to anxiety and fear such as tramau, obsessions and compulsions. In addition to the introductory lectures the course includes guest lectures to broaden the horizon of our students beyond our regular teaching programme. You will find more info about the guest lecturer this year below.

The morning sessions are dedicated to the PBL-sessions: workshops during which the students work in small groups on assignments and discussion topics related to the theme of the day. The assignments contain elements of fundamental neuroscience as well as clinical applications. Each group will summarize their results in a presentation at the plenary session on Friday.

Special lectures during the Summer Course on Anxiety, Fear, Obsessions & Trauma 1 - 6 July 2018

Each Summer Course, we present lectures and workshops by our own faculty but also a series of guest lectures by esteemed scientists from all over the world.
